ATTENTION! ATTENTION!! We have an Official Inquiry!

January 3, 2013 National

An article posted yesterday, January 2, ~~2012~~, 2013 has brought an issue to the Board of Inquiry at Fisherynation.com. Scientists fear Canada will fish bluefin tuna and other species to extinction

We are sad to report that the Board has been stumped and ask our loyal followers to present anecdotal evidence that a fish species can be fished to extinction. Or not!

The New England groundfish debacle (Part III): who or what is at fault? Nils E. Stolpe/FishNet

It took me a while to decide how to most accurately describe the situation that has been visited upon the New England fishing communities that are and since colonial times have been dependent on the groundfish fisheries.

NILS STOLPE: The New England groundfish debacle (Part IV): Is cutting back harvest really the answer?

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.
