In "Why 'no' to Noodling" (2012), a Q&A about the legality and effects of catfish noodling in missouri submitted online by the Missouri Department of Conservation, the department secures their assertions that catfish noodling is dangerous to their economy, since the two types of catfish most frequently noodled are both among their top five state-wide game-fish. They first answer questions regarding what noodling actually is, so that the reader can establish the background to the issue, and then provide answer to why it is illegal, studies that have shown its effect on catfish populations (which they did not link), and the fiscal statistics resting on legal catfish angling in the state of Missouri. They intend to elaborate on their laws and regulations to clear up any misconceptions about noodling in their state. Their intended audience are those who want legal reasons or scientific explanations to why they can't noodle, or those who just wish to learn what noodling is.
