Personally I don't think it is all about ocean temp. (with regard to cod anyway) When "they" (DMF) allowed the taking of breeder fish during the spawn year after year after year and did not stop this activity until a crisis occurred, this is what happens down the road.

IMO it is their MANAGEMENT that is at fault, "they" (DMF and their experts) are now looking for a scapegoat that no one can argue with...blame it on Bush and water temps.

Facts: "They" have been managing this species for more than 3 decades. It has gotten progressively worse and is now in disaster stage. Time to FIRE ALL TOP Leadership and establish a new management path using conservative common sense and logic. This is LONG overdue. Stop blaming it on other indirect factors which you know there is no direct evidence that this is the primary issue.
