  • Hi Etriusus (talk), review follows: article promoted to GA on 22 April and is well written; I am no expert but the sources used look to be reliable and I found no overly close paraphrasing from the ones I accessed; hook facts are interesting, mentioned in the article and check out to sources cited; a QPQ has been carried out. Looks fine to me; note: I added "each year" to ALT0 as that seemed more impressive, feel free to revert if desired - Dumelow (talk) 07:12, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
@Dumelow and Etriusus: Technicality regarding ALT0 - the reference states: "Female may carry from 400 to 36,000 eggs". So carry, not lay - by my reading. Bruxton (talk) 20:31, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
