Why would everyone voluntarily stop hunting? People don't go out and run ocean trawlers every day for their meals, they buy it at the supermarket, and for most the source is irrelevant.
- labster 5y agoTrawling to trolling is only a Levenshtein distance of two.
- bigDinosaur 5y agoNot sure what your point is. Are you saying I'm trolling because I'm saying that consumers will mostly be fine with farmed (and possibly 'lab grown') alternatives in the future? The sources used for our food have changed dramatically over time, no reason for that to not happen again.
- kuhewa 5y agoBut there are highly abundant stocks of wild fish that can be harvested sustainably en masse, like pollock, it's really hard for scalefish aquaculture to entirely outcompete the simplicity of that — allowing nature to feed your fish and control all the necessary variables. I don't think we'll see capture fisheries totally disappear.
- jacobolus 5y agoTrolling is a fishing term. The sense of 'internet troll' is based on a fishing metaphor. Trawling and trolling are slightly different fishing techniques. Both are ways to catch fish from a moving boat, but trawling involves dragging a net, while trolling means trailing a baited line.
- bigDinosaur 5y agoHuh, the more one learns.
- dustymcp 5y agoif hunting and fishing should be on the same level, hunters would have large trucks where they could skin filet and do anything with the animal on the go then just dump out whatever is left out the back, there is no comparison in these two, fishing should for sure be way more regulated than it currently is, the large fishing fleets are disgusting murder houses for pet food..
