Fish deformities
It's a wild world out there and sometimes they just ain't what they're supposed to be.

Stocky perch, you see a few funky ones about where they stock them

Hopefully we won't have to see a fish with three eyes

Re: Fish deformities
Is that inbreeding at the hatcheries? Or fish that would normally be killed off being allowed to survive due to a lack of predators in the hatcheries and let to grow to a size where little can threaten them despite being all munted looking?

Re: Fish deformities
I'm not 100% sure but I believe estuary perch broodstock is caught wild from rivers which would rule out the inbreeding, I guess it just gets them big enough that they can actually survive even with deformities but there could be something else meaning there's a higher likelihood of them having deformities

Re: Fish deformities
Stocky bass are the same, I think it is inbreeding. At times every second bass you get looks munted.
