Hi Paul,
My point exactly, it would be nessesary to bring in more "fresh" stock
periodicaly. Bringing them in from OZ/PNG would of course be the best
thing of all, but I thought that would be tough, especialy from PNG. Am
I wrong about that, or is the door ajar these days (ie. Roy's trip)?

BTW Roy, do you have to reapply for new permits everytime you want to
bring in more fish (provided you want to <g>)?
