A Marine Biologist told me the cod have taken to dining on seal poo, .... that is where they are getting the increase in worms (parasite) from... have NOT eaten cod since, BTW.
The cod have been in a decline for years, as have the forage they were accustomed to eating. Seal management, (bring back the bounty!) would go a long way ion helping the cod, the bait, and a lot of other species, flounder, fluke, sand dabs, sand eels, and, oh yeah Stripers!, just to name a few.
I would bet it will never happen, the Feelgooders, PETA, etc, would use the cute pictures of seal pups sunning on Monomoy as the poster children to "Save the Seals".......
