Up in the Commonwealth of Virginia they are trying to get rid of an excess of Cow Nosed Rays that are taking a major toll on fledging oyster stocks.
"they ate about 1 million disease-resistant babies (oysters) set on artificial oyster reefs in the river – a $78,000 frenzy that caused the corps to spend another $500,000 this spring for protective fencing around the reefs."
The solution? Show us that they taste great on the grill and get anglers to thin them out . I (and several other FFM staffers) once spent a day catching small rays/skates off the coast of North Carolina. Pound for pound they were one of the strongest fish I have ever fought. We came to refer to them as the poor man's tarpon. Being catch and release fishermen, we never really thought of eating them.
