same goes or suckers. they are excellent table fare but not good to be eaten regularly.
good question, I will def. find out from biologist and eventually report back, I do know they grow big faster than most species. Heck I don't glow in the dark yet and neither do some of my other "river rat" buddies same age as me and they have eaten a lot more big cats than me out of the rivers all their lives and so far don't glow either at their ages!!!
