"I'm sure that statement alone is enough to revive the collapsed Grand Banks fishing industry."

Unless I'm mistaken, even FR has not ascended to the ability to speak and suddenly whole generations of fish would reappear in the ocean.

Do the math: The growing world population (-) an overfished world ocean (=) fish extinction.

Any quesitons?

If this is true, why no drastic increase in the price of a can of tuna? Tuna is one of the species mentioned in the article.

The last run of Salmon up my local river was the largest I have EVER seen! We got our limit every time.

How much ice did you have to break through to get to them?

Just kidding. I keep a daily log of fishing and I've never seen fish laughing at so-called pressure like now.

I think the difference is that the baitfish are decreasing in numbers not the predators.

Pelagics are another story. They don't follow instructions or trends.
