Wildlife officials in Ohio said a rare fish believed to have been extinct in the state has been found in local waters for the first time since 1939.
The Ohio Division of Wildlife said in a Facebook post that two longhead darters were caught by fish management crews conducting electrofishing bass surveys in the Ohio River, marking the first time the species has been documented in Ohio in more than 80 years. More
The fish went back to Ohio and his city was gone…
And it was delicious.
For 80 years thy’ve been trying to get back and all they can say is DAM.
Funny how “wildlife biologists” are allow to electrofish for “surveys”…you or I did that we’d be in jail, the pick up confiscated, and anything else they deem theirs for the taking that wasn’t nailed down.
So does this mean that globull warming is a fraud?
Cameltoe is said to smell like 80 year old fish.
Looks like a Smelt with a fancy paint job.
“thought to be extinct’ because no one bothered to look for it.
I blame Trump!
Whar be them fish Mate?
That sucker fooled your sorry asses for about a hundred years, when it really just wanted to be left alone.
All of you on the Ohio Valley River are fucked,this will be your Snail Darter or in the Northwest the Salmon, Or in California the Delta Smelt.
2 Fish. 3 or 4 are left on the delta in California and they shut down all water rights and fishing.
Do what it takes to kill them.
Unless they can cure Covid.
I think the thing got lost and thought “oh shit how did I end up back here” and then ZAP it’s getting messed with on a boat.
It’s not extinct! it’s just resting!
I’ll find him. $10,000 for me by myself. For that you get the head, the tail, the whole damn thing
Extinct is not the same as Extirpated. Locally Extinct but still known to exist elsewhere is called Extirpated. It should surprise no one when and Extirpated specie shows up again, given the strides we’ve made in the past 50 years to clean up our waters and eliminate barriers to their up-stream migrations. In Virginia, after the removal of the Fredericksburg damn, the Rappahannock and Rapidan Rivers now flow free from their head waters to the Atlantic Ocean. To no ones surprise, fish not seen in generations now spawn in their ancient spawning grounds.
Great work! Now do the Ivory Billed Woodpecker.
So much for ‘environmentalists’.
Leave the ivory billed wood pecker alone!
Great, now the green whiners will shut down the entire hydrological infrastructure of Ohio because of another smelt.
Industrial pollution is GOOD for them, as it turns out!!!
Their delicious!
The smelt will never become ex-stinked.
