We should however not loose sight of some limitations of aquaculture. For instance, given our current circumstances where most people prefered carnivorous fishes to herbivorous ones, aquaculture will have to produce carnivorous fishes to meet the market demand. This type of production will thus come at the expense ofFelixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02819768645034107001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35974543.post-33467166666315368952007-01-19T20:33:00.000-05:002007-01-19T20:33:00.000-05:00While I understand that there is a necessity for n...While I understand that there is a necessity for nutrition within these developing country, I also believe that it can be done in a sustainable fashion. Fishing companies waste huge amounts of fish that are not large enough to sell. They catch the fish in mass quantities and then dispose of those fish that are not of value to them. But the small fish have been out of the water long enough so thatsarah tilborhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01544308585797403760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35974543.post-75078773572226370432007-01-19T10:31:00.000-05:002007-01-19T10:31:00.000-05:00I believe this analysis is not taking into conside...I believe this analysis is not taking into consideration the key variable--the human variable. People in this region of Africa are fishing for survival. Little too nothing can they AFFORD to care about environmental protection (even if its for their benefit in the long run). As I see it, the only way a fishery program can succeed is by institutionalizing all costs and creating mechanisms to keep Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35974543.post-73179738456281016452007-01-17T15:21:00.000-05:002007-01-17T15:21:00.000-05:00This article indicates that the extinction of some...This article indicates that the extinction of some species of fish is inevitable if commercial fleets are not banned entirely from at risk bodies of water. Extinction of certain types of fish will in turn disrupt the balance of the entire aquatic ecosystem. The problem here lies in the fact that huge numbers of people rely on the fishing industry for their income as well as their nutrition and Kris Brakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09779374695334671471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35974543.post-19042399209553833352007-01-17T11:23:00.000-05:002007-01-17T11:23:00.000-05:00Actions have been taken to help ameliorate the pro...Actions have been taken to help ameliorate the problem of diminishing fisheries. Similar to permit systems I do know that at least on the Long Island Sound and probably elsewhere, there are certain types of fish where you can only keep them if they are over a certain length. This helps keep the total number of fish up, while providing little cost. As always though, there are problems because adamkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11384191984438984600noreply@blogger.com
