Is the fishing industry leaving enough food for Antarctica’s top predators?

Researchers have launched a broad international survey of krill’s main habitat in the Scotia Sea—the first in nearly 20 years—
to learn whether a growing fishing industry is leaving enough for krill’s natural predators.

Ban fishing!

Meh. Antarctica has plenty of fish on the south shore.

[rightwingcrazy]

The trick is finding the south shore.

The trick is finding the south shore [of Antarctica].

Lol!

“The trick is finding the south shore.”

I saw what you did.

Overfishing is a real problem. Many traditional food species have been fished nearly to extinction. Northern cod, halibut, and many others. Notice how expensive any good fish is now?

"Penguins, whales, and other predators feast on vast swarms of the shrimplike animals."

Might it be possible to farm and restock large fishing areas — making fishermen happy and keeping the krill to reasonable levels?

Why not increase the krill supply by harvesting the top predators?

A seal with the hiccups...

"At the same time, land-based teams from IMR and the Norwegian Polar Institute will track seals, whales, and penguins foraging for krill in the Bransfield Strait, an important feeding ground near the Antarctic Peninsula."

The misnomer "overfishing" is used extensively by the envirowacko community to justify their existence. The fishing industry in the US and many other countries is highly regulated with species quotas set by fisheries management agencies.

And neither cod nor halibut is nearing anything like extinction - in fact both are particularly abundant. Nor as far as any legitimate estimates is any other species.

So not only is this real fake news, but merits a

Be a great place to build a summer home! (South shore of Antarctica) :)

Ongoing radioactive fallout from Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan of water being constantly pumped in trying to prevent the core melting through and poisoning the pacific is the culprit.

Heavens to Betsy. The planet is 75% ocean. We couldn’t overfish it if we tried.

This story may be true or false. There was a time I would not question a “scientific” study. However those days are gone.

Scientist have sold their souls for money. Too many are willing to lie and make up stuff to keep the research money flowing. And if not for money, for idealogy reasons.

Scientist have become priest in the new world religion MAN MADE CLIMATE CHANGE.

Scientist can not longer be trusted. So like I said, this story may be true or false I have no way of knowing and I don’t have the time (or interest) to check it out more deeply.

[hinckley buzzard]

Because we are the top predators.
