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

   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.
