Vote for Seafood: Help Stop Overfishing

[Folkboat11]

Want sustainable? Look to Alaska. 1.5 billion salmon are raised in plastic trays, fed pellets, held in open net pens for up to 12 months, then released into the wild to compete with wild salmon. It has worked well since they started doing this in the 1960's. Not sure why Alaska is marketing there framed salmon as "wild" although.

sustainable fishing is a "mythological mentality brought to you by scientists who get paid to promote propaganda to the public" All fishing in my region is sustainable in my region in the US, WHY, millions upon millions even billions of juvenile fish fill my fishing grounds annually. This is seed for the future. We catch only the adult species , yet this is unacceptable to biologists, Why, special interests and money is governing our commercial fishing heritage, CCA, rec. fishing alliances !!!

@strikenetter A few isolated incidents and areas where things are actually sustainable doesn't change the fact that we ARE overfishing. The smaller fish that escape nets are evolving as such, which they shouldn't have to. Andhave you gone scuba diving to see how many fish there are? At most, there could be a few tens of thousands. Millions of billions could almost be visible from space by my estimates.

theres nothing like shrimp grown in a ditch from vietnam or groundfish from some third world country, give a man a fish feed him for a day, teach him to fish and you can make a living getting research and grant money, how about we pass some laws to protect people from researchers, i dont think so it wouldnt be pc, when there are no more fishermen or farmers we can eat the scientists

@pservsea " when there are no more fishermen or farmers we can eat the scientists". Very well put :)
