Nice thread but I hope you will create a table later on, e.g., with three columns
- Scientific name of fish (by Order, Family) - Age - Source / Reference
As is, it won't be user friendly.
I've collected a lot of the max age info in my database of the biggest f/w fish in the world - see the corresponding link in my signature. Feel free to take the pertinent age info from there too, if you wanted to, for your tabulated database.
It'd be nice to see two versions of your database - ordered by Fish and ordered by Age, just like mine is ordered by Fish and ordered by Size.
