Requirement
7. Choose one fisheries task, from an afternoon to sixty days
Required Often forgotten
Four routes. One of them states in its own words that you do not need to catch any fish; another runs for sixty days and carries a legal check.
Notes and warnings
Warning. FROM AN AFTERNOON TO SIXTY DAYS, AGAIN WITH NOTHING TO MARK THE DIFFERENCE. Examining the stomach contents of three fish is one session. Running a freshwater aquarium is sixty days of observation before the discussion can even happen. Requirement 7(c) also removes the obvious barrier to itself in its own words: IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO CATCH ANY FISH FOR THIS OPTION. Three fish from a kitchen, a market or somebody else's catch will do.
