The NYC types will not eat cod, sword, West Coast salmon
Perhaps not unreasonable but I'd need to look more closely at population studies. You didn't mention Atlantic salmon but they have been in bad shape for a long time. Can you still purchase wild Atlantic salmon? Cod? Big problems. From the Boston Globe, August 2014: The cod population in the Gulf of Maine is plummeting more steeply than previously thought, according a new assessment by the federal agency that monitors the fishing industry. Underwater surveys conducted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration estimated that the iconic species has dwindled to as little as 3 percent of what it would take to sustain a healthy population. That’s down from between 13 and 18 percent in the last assessment, completed in 2011. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: The NYC types will not eat cod, sword, West Coast salmon, to name a few. But interestingly, don't seem to have a problem with sushi. All of which strikes me more as fashion statements than real concern. They would certainly agree with your thoughts about prohibiting the catching and keeping of stripers but I suspect that they would argue that catch and release could traumatize the fish in ways that would set them up for some of the diseases you list. And you wouldn't be able to disprove it. Don't you just love the PC "folk"? |
