Cod on rebound, haddock takes hit

October 4, 2013 Canada, National, Pacific

The codfish is on the rebound, and that means High Liner Foods CEO Henry Demone has never been more confident in the global supply of wild fish. The Alaska pollock is also in good condition, he says, and that has meant the Lunenburg seafood giant is a big beneficiary. This week, High Liner announced it will pay US$50 million to acquire American Pride Seafoods LLC, a frozen seafood and scallop processing company in New Bedford, Mass., from parent company American Seafoods Group LLC of Seattle. more@chronicleherald 08:51

Good for the fishery but ask Henry where over 60% of the fish harvested in Canada and the U.S. is processed for the High Liner Label!

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. Hence the term “overfished.” Hence the mandated knee jerk reaction of the fisheries managers to not enough fish; cut back on fishing. What of other factors? They don’t count. It’s all about fishing, because fishing is all that the managers can control; it’s their Maslow’s Hammer. When it comes to the oceans it seems as if it’s about all that the industry connected mega-foundations that support the anti-fishing ENGOs with hundreds of millions of dollars a year in “donations” are interested in controlling.
