If you have been paying attention to seafood news, you may be aware that there is a glut of lobsters. You may have also seen articles proclaiming that the glut exists because of good management of the lobster fishery.
Not so fast, sports fans.
Yes, it is no doubt true that enforcement on the rules for taking lobsters have helped. But so has bad fishery management for other species. Swordfish eat adult lobsters. Cod eat smaller lobsters. The stocks of both of those species have been almost wiped out. Cod may be virtually extinct (and would have long ago been extinct if the fishermen had their way about it).
So of course there are more lobsters, for the other critters that eat them aren't there in the numbers that they once were.

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
Exactly. Kind of like how the excess of deer here in NY isn't really due to good management practices either.
ReplyDeleteYes, and my Memorial Day Bear turned out to have been left homeless by loggers. Not population explosion. Just what I need a 6 foot tall homeless Bear. Got nothing to do with "management".
ReplyDeleteMore like mis-management if you ask me.
