Sockeye salmon are flooding into Campbell River now in numbers never seen by lifelong fisherman, but there is growing frustration that quota limits mean the commercial fishing community is missing out on an ocean of opportunity. Watch the Video here 16:18
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.

These ocean pasture fed sockeye salmon are living proof that we can bring the fish back… This largest return of sockeye in history were treated to a restored ocean nursery pasture in 2012 when they swam out to sea as babies. Instead of mostly starving our restored and revived ocean pasture nurtured those sockeye along with Pink salmon and other species. Last year and this the salmon are restored to the level of abundance not seen for 100 years thanks to our work.

I am absolutely intrigued by your experiment, for lack of a better term.
I meant to respond to your last post when you said it could work out here. I agree with that.
After thinking about this, and your courage to push the envelope, my question is, why can we not include calcium in the material?
The next big thing, they claim, is acidification.
Would it not have an affect on the shell building process of these little animals?
I can barely spell science, so, please be patient with my notion!
The more I read about this, the more I think about it.
