Kampachi Farms want to release grouper, but face resistance

May 5, 2014 Western Pacific

Eventually Kampachi acquired broodstock from Taiwan, intending to raise them and hoping to release their offspring.

While it’s a fact that’s hardly ever acknowledged, the assumption in fisheries management is that if the population of a stock of fish isn’t at some arbitrary level, it’s because of too much fishing.
