Two more species of tuna have been added to the Red List of Threatened Species.

They join the Southern bluefin tuna - listed as critically endangered.

The report, published in this week's Science, is the first global assessment of this highly prized family of fish, which are at risk of being over-fished.

I thought that the best fishing was in cold water...

What the documentary "The Cove" and you'll see this is no joke. Very sad.

Grouper, sea bass... Lucky I don't like fish so I'm doing my part.

The natural stocks of these prized fish are truly diminishing . Relentless commercial fishing and other factors will bring these once bountiful species of fish to the edges of extinction. Moratoriums should be mandated by a responsible world society from both the commercial side and through joint international
co operation... Sad to say I am personally not optimistic this will come to fruition.

Two words:

Fish Farms.

An excellent way to recycle organic wastes on land and produce protein for the population. Businesses up here in the Rust Belt have started looking at old warehouses and industrial buildings for fish farming operations. I say... bring dem fishies on !

Two words:
Population control. No, not fish. People. 8-)

There is some great stuff at this link me thinks it is way beyond just the depletion of fish issues.
