Researcher with a Red Grouper (IMAGE)
Caption
NC State University fisheries science researcher Brendan Runde holds a red grouper (Epinephelus morio). A recent study reports that, for several species of oceanic sport fish (including red grouper), individual fish that are caught, released and recaught are more likely to be caught again than scientists anticipated. The findings raise some interesting questions for policy makers tasked with preserving sustainable fisheries. Runde is first author of that study.
