"There is no "cod shortage"

At least you are firmly convinced of your own inaccurate information, maybe you should check out the facts first. While this pertains to the North Sea, the principle remains the same. I believe the word "collapse" could be construed to indicate a "shortage".

"Dramatic changes in the abundance of the plankton in the North Sea caused by global warming have led to the collapse in cod stocks, research published in the latest edition of the journal Nature shows. "

This one does pertain to Canada. They, being much more conservative in their assessment, only use the term "freefall to describe the cod problem.

Oh, please. Are you so naive and bereft of critical faculties to believe this "hunt" has anything whatsoever to do with reducing the seal population so cod can be more abundant? Do you really expect anyone to believe that?
