October 24, 2014 Pacific

CAPITOLA, Calif. —A fisherman who lost his right arm in a commercial salmon fishing accident at sea last year has lost another arm this month “It’s not easy losing your right arm twice. It’s really been a real kick in the stomach,” Victor Kraft of Aromas said. Kraft parked his dark blue Toyota 4-Runner on the 4200 block of Capitola Road in Capitola on Oct. 14.

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.
