Brooklyn Seafood Seller Caught Trafficking Shark Fins

August 21, 2015 Mid Atlantic

Long Quan Seafood International Trading Corp. — a wholesale seafood retailer down on Bath Avenue in Bath Beach, Brooklyn — now holds the unlucky title of first company to be successfully prosecuted under New York State’s one-year-old shark fin ban.

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.
