I'm thinking regulations were too little, too late, and THAT's why the cod continue to decrease in number. I forget the technical name for it, but I've graduated and it's summer, I'm allowed. Anyways, when population numbers get too low, fish can sometimes not find suitable mates, or even any mates at all. There is a point from which a population cannot bounce back, even though all of the members of that species are not dead yet. Below a critical number, birth rate simply cannot exceed death rate. Tell me y'all didn't see this coming from a nautical mile away.
