I think vermin fish just continually spawn? If not, that might explain why I seemed to be catching less fish.

Anyone have any further info to chip in on this particular aspect of fishing?

This is an exceptional obsidian statue of Daral Darkscab.
The item is an exceptionally designed image of Daral Darkscab the dwarf and a slag bar (massive) in obsidian by Ksoth Lolorumril. Daral Darkscab is raising the slag bar (massive). The artwork relates to the masterful slag bar (massive) created by the dwarf Daral Darkscab for the Corridor of Matyrs at Monstergores in the late spring of 312.

I'm so glad my masons have chosen to memorialize the really important events.

yeah, fishing eventually depletes the supply, and there's no replensihment-yet. 
So use other methods to provide a large fort with food.

I read somewhere that they will eventually replenish in 50-60+ years if you remove fishers for that time.  Also I've heard that you can drop corpses into the rivers and eventually river vermins will spawn. Just speculation though and those posts are 1-2 years old, no real !!SCIENCE!! involved.

I know for a fact that the corpse one is false. The first one might be true, but would only work if you haven't already fished out your rivers (i.e. there is still a base population to grow). An easier fix is to simply go into the raws and increase the [POPULATION_NUMBER:X:X] tokens by a factor of 20 or so.

It would be brutally difficult and probably won't work. In other words, it's absolutely dwarven!

I'd rather they all die than mod in shells for cats or some crap like that.

I chucked at the thought of a hermit-cat carrying a shell on its back.

Someday I'm going to write a mod that lets you use eggshells as shell. Create a custom reaction to turn eggs into usable shells.
