After about 100 world gens I finally found Turtles as a usable fish! WHY is it so unlikely?

Because they require access to certain biomes.

Because temperature is currently glitched, and the majority of catchable fish vermin are cooked to death upon embark.

What I wanna know, is why are cave fish/cave shrimp listed twice on embark?  It never saves my shrimp choice, so I always have to manually re-add to my embark profile.

I believe it's a symptom of the new caste system. Male and female are listed separately, even when buying dead ones!
