We used to go cod fishing out of Allen's harbor in Harwichport on the Cape. Nothing like fresh scrod and chips on the cape. :) Oh yeah, New England coast had the best fish.

Not only do we consume seafood at an alarming rate, but we also rob other creatures (Bears) of their food source(Salmon). And due to these shortages, some species of Bear are at near extinction. More and More people consuming more and more food, than the Earth can replenish or repopulate. It will not get any better. I suspect the TPTB will hatch some evil plot to push Agenda 21. |

I doubt if any of my grand kids (when/if I have any) will ever get to taste cod. sad! Oh, I know, that would be sad, let's hope it doesn't happen. I guess you really DID grow up on cod. WOW! I bet you can cook up some good tasting fish! Must have been beautiful living in Newfoundland, too! We mostly eat salmon now when we eat fish. If you ever get a chance, get down to NFLD for a visit. The people are as nice as the scenery and very American friendly. In fact, I would bet that there are more American visitors visiting there than Canadians. You don't know how many times my son and I have talked about visiting NFLD. He is a photographer and we are traveling buddies. We enjoy our escapes into nature and the photos we have seen of NFLD all show so much beauty. Hopefully we will make it there one day.

Quoting: APOLLO ILLUMINIST Its not about availiable space, its about resources. Codswallop! It's not about space OR resources. It's about the abject failure of human beings to employ good husbandry and stewardship. The waters around Britain were heaving with cod...until the Cod Wars bit (Iceland unilaterally extending its international waters so that it could plunder more and more fish stocks). It actually came to RN gunboat standoffs. And then we've had every Tommo, Dicko and Enrique floating up from warmer climes pillaging and devastating our cod lots. And wouldn't you know it...? Us Brits played by the rules and self-imposed strict quotas - which sent many a Brit fisherman into bankruptcy. Meanwhile, all our foreign maties were rampaging around the North Sea snagging as much cod as they liked. Yet again, it's human beings' immense and destructive predilection for selfishness and short term gain and fuck everyone else. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 14153199 United States09/17/2012 12:24 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Just 100 cod left in North Sea Overfishing has left fewer than 100 adult cod in the North Sea, it was reported. A survey of catches at European ports has found that fishermen did not catch a single cod over the age of 13 last year. The findings raise concerns for future stocks of cod, which become more fertile as they age. The fish can live as long as 25 years and grow to 6ft. Researchers warned a lower life expectancy meant a lower birth rate and a faster decline. Callum Roberts, professor of marine biology at York University, told the Sunday Times that intense industrial fishing meant that few fish survived beyond the age of four, when they reach sexual maturity. “This means that there are fewer eggs and larvae to perpetuate future generations,” he said.

They are all nanny state socialists that believe anything the telegraph tells them. They are so asleep they are in a coma...the lot of them. At least back home some of us realize there are plenty of resources in the world and we don't buy the socialist/communist shill media saying that it's peak oil, peak fish, peak corn, peak everything. Stop listening to your 'peak' people and go ask germany. Srsly folks...those are the only ppl even remotely living in reality. |

Fishing companies from some countries use drift nets 40 miles long, they rake it over the surface for hundreds of miles. The entire surface of the ocean is dragged a dozen times every year, they scoop up not just the fish they are hunting, they scoop up everything. [link to www.youtube.com] Drama King |
