Pollock front and center again, despite no one knowing why
November 20, 2009
Pollock quotas likely to drop again | www.publicbroadcasting.net
The latest prediction on the Total Allowable Catch totals for the USA pollock industry for 2010 appear to be solidly in favor of lowering them once again. This makes Greenpeace happy (not really) but is bad news for the industry as a whole. Jobs will be lost, companies may be headed for continued hard times. Yet most consumers of fish say, so what, I never eat pollock. How wrong they are.

Can Aquaculture Feed the World | blueridgepress.com
We read more and more about aquaculture and how the industry is progressing, and reading about its issues of concern as well. We see that the carnivores of the industry may be more of a problem than a solution. We must work on a better feed to product ratio, but more importantly, we have part of the solution, tilapia culture.

Canada to probe missing salmon stocks: PM | www.google.com
We have no idea what happens to the salmon when they go out to sea, but they always return. Well, up until now they have returned, this year they did not. This has had a devastating and ruinous effect on a billion dollar fishery in Canada. The sockeye salmon appear to have just disappeared. The appropriate Canadian authority is out to find the answer, they also should seek a solutions, looking forward, for the industry as a whole.

October 22, 2009
The Disappearance of Ecuador’s Mangroves | fishfarmaz.com
The USA shrimp industry has taken its share of hits lately. The imports form China, Cental and South America have caused the prices to drop to a point where US wild shrimp just seems to expensive to the average consumer. This may be about to change, as we look more closely at what is happening with the Ecuadorian farmed supply.
Did CBS Just Wake Up To The Growing Salmon Problem
October 21, 2009
Salmon Industry in Deep Water | www.cbsnews.com
The story presented by CBS recently is a great illustration on why no one outside the industry seems to be aware of our growing crisis. Unfortunately food production, fisheries and more directly the farmed salmon industry does not garner the headlines. Well not yet, although they do at times, when it is not a crisis but a catastrophe. I believe we could be close to that catastrophe. The population needs to start paying closer attention to the ever worsening developments in our food chain.
