Only 50 years left for 'Sea Fish'

One does not have to be a rocket surgeon to see that coming. If you deplete a stock faster then it can replenish itself you are going to eventually run out. It was done in with the North American bison, it use to thought there were so many they would never run out until one day there were only a couple hundred left. And that was with a species we can see. Can you imagine how bad it is with a species that we can not see? If you spend your money faster than you earn it, what happens? you go broke that's what. Some day all the scientists and all the people who belive in exploiting the oceans will learn this most basic of lessons. I just hope it is not too late by the time they do.

Rocket Sturgeon!
No, I did not mistype that, I meant "rocket surgeon". A while back the weather man on TV got his metaphors mixed up. I do not know whether he meant to say "It's not rocket science" or "It's not brain surgery" but he ended up saying "It's not rocket surgery". I found it so funny that I have been using that expression "rocket surgery" ever since.

Over fishing isn't the only problem coming up. If warming continues, there will be an upset in the oxygen balance in the oceans and an up welling of hydrogen sulfide which will cause all sorts of other problems.
The evolution of the human genome is too important to be left to chance.

Well, at least we'll still have "fish sticks"! :)

Kind of makes you wonder how ocean life survived the end of the last ice age. Or all the ones before that for that matter.
Thank God for disproportional force.

It looks to me like you don't care much about the environment do you?
V. Stop smoking so you can: enjoy longer the money you save.
I care very much about the environment. You think that our heinous acts of dumping robot garbage on Mars doesn't keep me up at night? What kind of monster do you think I am?

You hear the same song by the loggers in Oregon. Let's cut down all the old growth forests because we need jobs. But in a few years, they'll all be gone to never return.

Could they possibly share genes with Red Stateler? :~

At 1 BC, man did not exploit the seas as we do know...

Yes.. considering the fact that you can easily emulate fish sticks with ground tree and batter, we would still have fish sticks! (Until all forrests have been extinct of course, but then we'll all have dirt and gravel to chew on!)

Another problem is ocean pollution :sigh: so many problems, so few answers...

I am sorry, is that supposed to be an argument in support of the theory that 'warming will cause all sorts of problems'?

No. If we assume that this current global warming is naturally reoccurring, and that it has an effect on the seas and it's inhabitants, one cannot assume that the effect will be identical to what happened a long time ago. Man did not fish species to the brink of extinction 2000 years ago. A larger population will endure environmental changes (natural or otherwise) better than a smaller one.
