Brown OKs fishing for 240 million to 280 million invasive Lake Tahoe crayfish – Announces Tax Credit Program for Fleet Build UP!

September 6, 2013 Inland Fisheries

Officials estimate the lake holds 240 million to 280 million invasive crayfish, a freshwater crustacean that resembles a small lobster. They are a major food source for fish, but also excrete nitrogen and phosphorus, which stimulate algae production and reduce the lake’s clarity. (just joking about the expansion.) more@lasvegassun 23:07

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.
