likwid - what I meant in my first post was that we have fished down the cod to levels so low that their numbers were not enough to 'quickly' rebound - the dogfish came in and filled their ecological role, which further keeps the cod numbers low as they have to compete for the same resources with the dogfish. The dogfish have taken advantage of the situation and seen their population take off.
