Tom,



Okay, since this is not going to be going anywhere. If the harvest of a single specimen is going to cause that great of damage to the population then it is way to fragile to exist. It will go extinct with or without harvest if it is that fragile.



I believe that any species not listed as Endangered or Threatened has a sustainable harvest amount. What that amount is for each species I don't know. I would also bet that many of the species listed as Threatened could also withstand some harvest whether it be neonates, juveniles or select adults from select populations. But I am NOT advocating the harvest of Threatened species.



It is my belief that if a species can't handle even low level harvest it is in bad shape and most certainly should meet the criteria for listing as a Threatened species. That's what I think.
