Notwithstanding the obvious disparity between blind cave fish and our freshwater species, what I found slightly more disturbing were the comments by the NFA spokesman, thus:
"Their intelligence just adds to the interest - it would be awful if people were only catching fish that were stupid,"
and then . . . . . .
"I think it might attract more people to fishing, by showing it's more of an even contest."
IMHO this was not the most logical, or intelligent response.
