 * Plagiarism/close paraphrasing: Symbol question.svg Close paraphrasing: I have some concerns in respect of the History paragraph and some other sentences. There is some structural and word-order similarity, particularly between the last two sentences of History and text on p269 of ref [3] (here.

Comments/discussion:
 * Nominator needs to review an article before this nom can go forward. Marrante (talk) 18:51, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Looking at the image page I'm not sure whether or not this is suitable. They say they've released it under CC-BY-SA 3.0 but on the same page they link to the hosting page where it says images cannot be altered. Confused! PanydThe muffin is not subtle 13:23, 2 August 2011 (UTC)


 * I've reworded the history section. If the image is not suitable, there are a couple of others in the article that might work. --Epipelagic (talk) 07:24, 3 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Could we have a hook that is not "new article is (definition)"? Even something as simple as ALT2 ... that the eggs and larvae of fish can be sampled as an index of the relative abundance of spawning adult fish? Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:40, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
 * And could someone suggest an alternative image please? PanydThe muffin is not subtle 15:04, 3 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Alternative hook and image supplied above as requested --Epipelagic (talk) 22:09, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
 * ALT2 is okay, but it seems there are some slight paraphrasing issues as noted by Hassocks above. Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:38, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Image replaced and should be no paraphrasing issues now. --Epipelagic (talk) 05:58, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg I am now happy to fully approve this DYK.  Hassocks  5489 (tickets please!)  12:30, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
