Rare goblin shark (edfus lubchencos) caught off Key West

May 3, 2014 Gulf of Mexico

The shark is unusual looking, with an elongated, flattened snout and a protruding jaw with narrow, jagged teeth. Very little is known about goblin sharks, including how long they live, their biological status and their mating habits, Carlson added.

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

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.
