[QUOTE=Mr. NiceGuy;254144]Seasonal migration all the way from Gulf of Mexico to Massachusetts during summer.

Miami to Massachusetts is about 1,500 miles.
Panama to San Diego is about 3,000 miles.
.... just thinking
They are very very rarely caught north of new jersey. I did hear about one caught off cape cod last year though. It said tens of thousands so I would think if there is suitable spawning habitat, we could see them in a couple years regularly. It will be very interesting to see if they have any impact on our fisheries.
