WOW! Hadn't heard of that one.... but it sure seems to make sense.

If you violate the belly cavity in a human without using sterile technique, it will quickly result in peritonitis, an infection of the lining of the belly and visceral organs.... BAD NEWS. For a woman, that might mean permanent sterility (it's OK guys, fortunately yours are protected in a little sac outside the belly cavity).

I realize fish are a little hardier than we frail humans, but still, I can see how permanent damage can be done to a salmonid's sex organs if you pierce the belly wall with a big enough hole to create a free portal between its innards and the outside world.

Thanks for pointing that out.
