There is a sort of inherent knowledge among the more mature fish. There was a collapse in the herring fishery off Iceland because all the large fish were gone and the young fish did not know and they brought them to a completely different fishing ground, which meant the boats were waiting in the wrong area. It is something I might raise with the Marine Institute later.
