bluefin growth rates

[Sea Flat]

I had no idea that only the fish that are that big reproduce, that is amazing!! No wonder it is so hard to keep the population up. Hopefully this class of fish that have been coming back to Stellwagen for the past few years will get to that magic 80" and start making babies!! Only a few more inches for some of them.
