It's interesting. I liked when you said deleterious. I was hoping you would say allele.

'A Fish Caught in Time' is a fun book about the Coelacanth if you have not read already.

Long time ago I went fishing in the upper Kern river. In the creek sections where the water is fast and freezing. The golden trout there were the most beautiful trout I'd ever seen.

When I read Colin Fletcher's 'The Thousand-Mile Summer' and he talked about catching Paiute trout in the Silver King, it was compelling and inspiring to a fish brain like me.

To my way of thinking, those trout have incredible value. Is it biologic value, aesthetic value, or just cool factor... that depends on who you are I guess.

The Hitch is not a beautiful fish necessarily, but it has a similar fascinating "cut off from the world" evolutionary path to those trout. I hope people can find pragmatic ways to ensure they keep on living.

I'm going to get a little bit involved in this one I think. There's a good, reasonable outcome out there waiting to be had.
