Conundrum

[Aliantha]

BigV: It is morally wrong for her to release them because she's an environmental management student. Aside from that it's illegal.

The reason she wants to do the research is because it's a valid topic and it's important research.

I posed the question because there will be a way around it and I wanted to gather information to help her.

If people didn't do research, we'd still be sitting in caves eating berries and raw meat. This research is vital for anyone who relies on fresh water river systems in Australia, even more so now that we're in a severe drought and knowing that the wider and shallower a river gets, the faster it will evaporate.

Not doing the study is not a great suggestion, and she's already decided to go ahead with it, so that's the reason for asking for ideas.

Thankfully, there have been a couple of good ones which definitely look like they'll have some merit.

SG: It is inevitable that they'll probably breed during the course of the study. When you lock them up in a tank, fish get pretty horny you know.
