Bering Sea pollock survey finds fewer fish than anticipated | www.adn.com
The recent news reports of the Pollock TAC (total allowable catch) volumes for 2010 may change things in the industry. The author of the article believes the low pollock findings are cyclical, I disagree. Perhaps the approaching outcome is the most important issue here, not the predictions of scientists and industry leaders. New predictions as of Friday, however, look quite ominous.

Canada: Millions of Salmon Fail to Return | www.realtruth.org
Acidic water, ocean temperature change, sea lice and warmer river waters do not bode well for the return of the Canadian wild salmon. This poses a loss of 1.6 billion dollars to the industry.
