What is even more suprising in that article is that the ship, and only that one, haouled in 75 TONS of pollack! And the government wants to regulate ME when I pull in my 4 legal flounder.

So the question becomes, how many tons can the sea continue to give us?

I agree Joe. One day those nets are gonna start coming up empty.

The other strange thing in the article was that the fish was 90-115 years old with a stomach filled with fully developed embryos.

Was it really necessary for them to take this fish out of the ocean? They should have taken a picture, measured it and sent it back to its happy hoome in the ocean. Sigh.

why must humans disrupt fish from their natural habitat. Imagine if a fish one day grabbed the scientist outa his house killing him and studying him.
