fed cat who was not hungry. spoiled. cleaned algae from a trawl. washed, dried trawl and packed it up for mending tomorrow. reading paper from 1950 on fish survey at CK. still catching the same fish with some new additions of fish that are moving up from the south like the emerald parrotfish, the scorpionfish, and many more snook than in the past. read another fish survey of CK from the 1880's. some of the names have changed but still catching the same fish generally. the archaeological record from the shell middens shows the same thing but the numbers are greater. whether there were more or certain species, or those species were just targeted, is presently unknown.
