Labrador shrimp fishery seeing boon from rising ocean temperatures

December 2, 2015 Canada

A journalist who covers the seafood industry says global warming may be wreaking havoc on the world’s fish stocks as a whole, but could be related to bigger shrimp catches recently off the coast of Labrador. John Sackton is the publisher of SeafoodNews.com, a website that claims to be the most widely-read daily seafood publication in North America. He told CBC Radio’s Labrador Morning that this past year has been a boon for Labrador’s shrimp fishery. Read the article here 08:11

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.
