Fish Return Ever Toward Spawn In Same Inlet Says Scotland Study
Scientist W M Shearer in Scotland tagged sea trout in the River Dee and recaptured six a year later in the same inlet and even same gravelly bank. John C Briggs of the University of Florida proposed the Differential Distribution theory to explain orderly spawning in crowded streams. The work notes advantages for cannibalistic young and territorial females in limit- ed spawning spaces.

Old Wharf Transformed Into Fishermen's Supermarket
An Oakland couple leases a battered Oakland Estuary wharf and converts it into a one-stop supermarket for West Coast fishermen. The setup offers canned goods, a new boat, shaving and shower facilities, news, an ice house, and a catch-judging platform. Evanses foresee hosting up to 25 vessels and storing winter boats, aiming to attract mariners from across the coast and spark local economic activity. The project could spark competition with San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf if successful, with Evans planning more maintenance contracts.
