The wrong fish?   The wrong fish!    After decades of work, it's the WRONG FISH?!?

This would be funny if it weren't so incredibly sad.

Biologists Trying To Save Trout From Extinction Restored Wrong Fish

A new study led by the University of Colorado at Boulder indicates biologists trying to save Colorado's native greenback cutthroat trout from extinction over the past several decades through hatchery propagation and restocking efforts have, in most cases, inadvertently restored the wrong fish.

According to a sophisticated DNA analysis, five of nine "relic" populations of what biologists believed to be greenback cutthroat trout living in isolated pockets of the state actually are Colorado River cutthroat trout, a closely related subspecies, said lead author Jessica Metcalf, a researcher in CU-Boulder's ecology and evolutionary biology department. Eggs and sperm from the trout populations have been used for the last several decades to rear new generations in hatcheries, allowing state biologists to restock parts of Colorado with what they thought were greenback cutthroats, she said.

The new study, which included sequencing and analyzing mitochondrial and nuclear DNA, showed the majority of the greenback populations had been misidentified, and that the greenback cutthroat trout range is now restricted to just 11 miles of streams in several remote areas of Colorado. The paper was published in the Aug. 28 online edition of the journal Molecular Ecology.

Oh, fuck it! It's funny. Those silly bastards!

"the wrong fish" is SUCH a good phrase to chuck into conversations!

Yep! That's what I thought, too. Nothing can ever be just "wrong" anymore. It will now be "the wrong fish" no matter what we're talking about.

 

I really don't know why that's so funny.

I just got up to refresh a cooling cup of coffee and empty a full bladdder, but I hit some kind of auto pilot wave or something and went to the toilet and dumped my half cup in the bowl. I stoppped myself before I pissed in my coffee pot, though.
 

I have once poured milk into the kitchen bin.

Is brunch at a nice resturant really worth having to socialize with elderly out of town relatives?  I'm probably going to have to put on a dress and stuff too.  Hmm...

I have all this stuff; movies, tv shows, video games, books...And I'm bored!? What the fuck!?

I hate it when that happens, although with me what happens more often is that I spend so long of any alone time I get trying to decide how best to use it that I've wasted half of it before I know it.

OY, been there, felt that!

Wow, I was kind of on crack yesterday.  Three hours of sleep is NOT enough.  Lucky I got eight hours last night.

Just start doing something productive as if you have to, and maybe what you want to do will come to you.
