Tangent on the stock photo in the article: Some of the cod fish on that conveyor in the first photo look very young, maybe young enough to never have spawned once. Look at the one being held, a hand can almost grip around the entire fish at the mid of its body.
- reason-mr 6y agoI grew up on the east coast of the uk. When I was a kid in the 70’s my brother and I would catch huge cod right off the beach with beachcaster rods. Now he tells me there are no big fish left, only small ones, and few of those come in. He doesn’t bother fishing anymore. IMO the time for taking fish is done - we need to leave the ocean alone and let it heal. Also, we clearly have a population boom based on over exploitation of natural resources. Fish - depleted, topsoil - in bad shape, bees - in bad shape. Typical natural world bubble of a species that ate all of the available prey.
