Thanks, yorkie. Given how fishermen have to stick to quotas and throw back some of their catch, with invasive species is it too simplistic to say that there should be no quota at all. Or is that already the case? Not my strong point, but interested.

His namesake son was famous for being Russian, and with a Beatle-mania style following, had the largest share of fan-mail at MGM (even exceeding Elvis!), but he (Dad) was well-known in his own right, even helping the Beatles out! Who was he (Dad, not son)?

"Norwegian authorities have established a two-part strategy for maintaining a sustainable red king crab population: First, a quota-regulated, long-term fishery in East Finnmark; and second by limiting the crab’s dispersal outside of this designated area. In order to protect other valuable species like the cod, all king crab fishing in areas west of the North Cape is therefore unrestricted. Fishing for the red king crab takes place all year with traps in the fjords and coastal areas along the east of Finnmark "

This aims to stop it spreading west and south....

He wasn’t Russian. Nor was his Dad. Both English. Same name.

First guess - Paul Kossof and his dad David ?

No. They both have the same name. One of the first names you’ve used. Both artists, but in different fields.

 

[andytoprankin]

The answer would be apparent if the son was biological issue of his father’s brother.

 

[andytoprankin]

The son wasn’t “on his own” - he was the other one. “A Day in the Life” of his Dad was interesting.
