More bogus numbers from the envirobogulists.

Having ended, last year, 25 years in the seafood importing biz, I'd tend to say those numbers are just a tad bit inflated....

Orange Roughy, though, may suffer severe depletion. They can live nearly a hundred years, and to be of harvestable size, they are pushing well up there in age. Eventually there may be no more mature fish to regenerate.

Since a bottle nosed porpoise supposedly eats at least 40# of tuna a day, why is it that these same nuts are screaming about a decline in tuna.

As far as the above there are probably as many of them in the ocean as there are humans.

On one trip to Cabo for over 24 hours there were bottle nose porpoise moving north as far as you could see in both directions as we were going south at 12k.
