Any particular reason you posted about Mexicans trying to reinvigorate different varieties of shrimps using moratoriums?
NoLibZone, thanks for the links, but the links you provided are for bans in Mexican waters. razzz42, where are the links for bans for American waters, as claimed in this story?

Now, it doesn’t say a shrimp boat was attacked and devoured by pissed off oil drenched shrimp or that a dad and his kid using a hand net from a row boat showed back up at the dock with a load of mutated shrimp blindly trying to escape.
Maybe the ambulance chasing lawyer is using his trade’s typical hyperbole as an excuse to glorify the findings of a few researchers or maybe the State Fish and Game is practicing conservation as exampled with the Mexicans using a moratorium during breeding season to allow some shrimp time to replenish themselves. Or maybe the State is investigating low shrimp count while searching for causes.
The Alabama Notice says you can call them for more details. The linked I posted to the supposed liberal freak show, names the researchers who have been tracking the Gulf’s sea life even before the Deep Water Horizon disaster.
If I have to rely on Russian TV or the UK or some other outside news source because I don’t want to listen to some past Senator that now lobbies for the oil industry, speaking on behalf of BP that is trying to take care of the situation, pardon me.
