Overall: copyvio, character count, sources all ok. Interesting hook. Whispyhistory (talk) 18:16, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

• One of the sources for the hook is offline, but the other only says this fish was used as a control species to compare against the fish proposed for use as a pest control. Cwmhiraeth, are you sure the other source says that this particular species was proposed for pest control? Gatoclass (talk) 15:15, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

@Gatoclass: It states the fact in Fishbase and I gave the reference that was quoted there. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:23, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

Thanks Cwmhiraeth. I'm afraid I've run out of puff today as I've spent a lot of time in the queues ironing out issues already. I'll try to get back to this tomorrow. Gatoclass (talk) 17:43, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
