Damn, what an ancient fish! At first I'd be bummed about the loss of such a large breeder, but the age of this girl brings up the question: did this fish hit menopause decades ago? Studies have shown guppies experience menopause, so why not rockfish?

Any NCKA rockfish experts have insights on rockfish menopause?

Simply amazing.
I am looking forward to reading the science this fish provides.
