I actually meant that at the end of a sampling (collection) session out in the wild, to return a portion of the caught fish back to the body of water they were collected from. It's a sustainability practice that is thankfully getting more popular with regular collectors.
On that note, getting ready to spend a few hours in the swamp tomorrow to see what I can drag up.
Got ya. Thanks for clearing that up. Great advice and practice
This was brought up to a guest speaker from the NJ fisheries Dept. when we wanted to bring small fish from the local lakes home to grow up until they were too large for our tanks. ( These were the metal framed tanks so the sizes were limited back then. ) That was the the response as I recall. It has stuck with me for a long time!!
Good luck swamping
