If the editors overseeing this article think it would be useful, I can provide a link to a video segment showing actual paddlefish caviar, criminal arrests, and interviews with FWS special agents and Missouri state agents who participated in the much talked about covert operation that took place in Missouri back in the 80s. The sting operation was an historic event because 23 people were arrested, charged & successfully prosecuted in state court in Missouri, while 6 were arrested on felony charges at the federal level for interstate trafficking of wildlife. They were convicted, heavily fined and sentenced to time in a federal peneteniary. I can also make photographs available and help expand upon the paddlefish article in general, but my participation would be considered a COI, so I'm posting this information for editors to consider. I also need to mention there is a comprehensive one-hour documentary about paddlefish available for viewing at YouTube. The documentary is a valid resource produced in cooperation with State and Federal resource agencies, and contains rare underwater footage of paddlefish in the wild, interviews with State and Federal fish biologists, several of whom participated in the writing of "the books and research papers" that were the initial references for some of the Wiki references, including L.K. Graham, D.L. Scarnecchia, and Clifton Stone. The documentary also shows artificial propagation of paddlefish, C-section surgery, hatchery conditions, snagging, a demonstration of how poachers made caviar from paddlefish roe, etc. I await your response.

Per box at the top of this page, an editor has WP:SELFCITEd with regard to "earthwave". Those contribs need to be reviewed for NPOV and sourcing. Once the article is cleaned by an independent editor, the tag can be removed. If you do that, please leave a note here. Thanks. Jytdog ( talk) 23:00, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
Very nice article. The phylogeny of these fish is so curious that it would be desirable to have a brief section on phylogeny, with a cladogram showing their position with respect to the cartilaginous and the bony fishes. This would go well with the existing image of a fossil, which by the way ought to be labelled with its age and geological period; and the time of origin of the group should be discussed and cited in the text. If nobody's feeling strong enough for a cladogram, find some suitable sources and ping me in a couple of weeks' time. Chiswick Chap ( talk) 08:16, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

All in all it's a very well written article, providing a lot of information relative to the amount of references available. I do see this article as GA class. Dunkleosteus77 (push to talk) 01:05, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
I know Paddle Fish exist in the Trinity River in East Texas. The Article states they are Endemic to the Mississippi River Basin. Later the page says the are endemic to the Mississippi River Basin & found in other Gulf Slope Watersheds. So... they are Not Endemic to the Mississippi River Basin. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JustinLoyalWoodall ( talk • contribs) 16:45, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
