Several of the reports from Canada noted that the tables have been turned up there. The fish that cod eat are now eating so many cod that the cod cannot recover. They believe that herring and other bait fish are eating up most of the cod fry before they have a chance to mature. Many predict that there is a good chance the fishery will never recover.
