Fish Managers manage fish. Period. The rest is background noise.

Back in the 80s there was a lawsuit in Federal Court (Palila vs. Hawaii) where the state was sued because the sheep and goats they introduced were eating the Palila's primary food. Court held that destroying the food supply was a "take". When I mentioned to my section head about this, as there were demands to provide salmon carcasses to feed the then listed Bald Eagles his response is that he would never manage fish for birds.

Heck, they won't manage one species of fish to benefit another species of fish.
