Itโs raining...fish? One East Texas town says rare weather phenomon happened to them
Youโve heard the saying, โItโs raining cats and dogs,โ but have you ever heard, โitโs raining fish?โ Thatโs what one East Texas town said after a rare weather phenomenon happened to them last week.
There are millions of more red snapper off the Texas coast than previously estimated. Hereโs why
The $12 million Great Red Snapper Count estimated that the Gulf holds about 110 million adult red snapper -- those at least 2 years old. More than 60% of the red snapper were in areas that previously had not been checked, according to the study by 20 scientists from 14 universities and NOAA. The report estimated that about 48 million adult red snapper swim off Florida, 29 million off Louisiana, 23 million off Texas and 10 million off Mississippi and Alabama. He noted that the red snapper count received twice as much funding as all of the studies he oversees at the Southeast Fisheries Science Center. Congress voted for the study in 2016, as red snapper recreational seasons got shorter and shorter while anglers kept seeing more and bigger fish.
