Microchirus azevia

 * ... that not enough is known about the bastard sole to indicate whether it is in need of conservation? Source: "This species occurs in the Eastern Atlantic and the Meditteranean. Little is known of its population, habitat or impact of potential major threats as statistics for this species are mixed with other Microchirus species. However, given that its depth range occurs primarily within the range of commercial trawling, it is not known how this is impacting its population. It is listed as Data Deficient."
 * ALT1: ... that the bastard sole is caught by accident when other fish species are being targeted? Source: "which means that this species may be significantly caught as by-catch by commercial trawling within its range, although mostly discarded."
 * Reviewed: Drift whale
 * Comment: I prefer the first hook, which is similar to one I used before for the Portuguese sole and which drew in 5000 viewers.

 * Point of information: the previous hook did not "draw in 5000 viewers", it was modified mid-way through being on the main page, and was subject to extensive discussion at ERRORS. Please refrain from making completely unfounded claims.  The Rambling Man (talk) 17:51, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
