In the time since the GIT December 2010 meeting, a draft resolution on blue catfish and flathead catfish has been developed for the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC). An early draft of the ASMFC resolution defines blue catfish and flathead catfish as “invasive”, and states “that all practicable efforts should be made to eradicate the population of the non-native invasive species” in the Chesapeake Bay watershed – which would, as defined by the draft resolution, include Virginia’s tidal river blue catfish and flathead catfish populations. Obviously, this resolution has also been a source of interest to catfish anglers such as yourself.
