Mike - This is like intruding in a conversation heard at another table in
a restaurant, but here goes:

per: your response to John about accurately reporting fishery losses,
after reading your contribution, I can't see that you've refuted what John
said. All you've added is that (probably partially in response to
declining yields in some overfished species) the fishing industry is
branching out and attacking new species. And just because the overall
fished yield of ALL species of fish has increased, it doesn't follow that
there are more fish. It probably means the frighteningly efficient
floating warehouses are strip-mining the seas ever more effectively, and
telling consumers to try fish that didn't used to be as popular. Did you
see the Mother Jones spread on world-wide decline of fisheries last year?
Excuse me. I know I'm butting in.

Humbly,
Betsy (aka Loretta)
