Standing on the water, casting your bread
While the eyes of the idol with the iron head are glowing
Distant ships sailing into the mist
You were born with a snake in both of your fists while a hurricane was blowing

this ship is owned by a us co. called "american pelagic seafood"
ships name is the "american freedom"
they said only 35-40% of the offshore stocks of herring and mac's have been tapped...

Although I share your disgust, I seem to recall that in the heyday of stripedbass fishing, offshore herring stocks where very heavily fished by foreign vessels within miles of our shores. Somewhere, I also recall reading that scientists theorized the absence of herring caused a "biomass flip" which resulted in an over abundance of sand eels inshore (something you outer cape guys seemed to enjoy). I am, however, a bit skeptical about the whole theory, particularly because I remember very consistent and spectacular late fall fishing behind Nantucket that was based on sea herring blitzes. Nevertheless, I tend to wonder if the subpar inshore fall fishing we have experienced in recent years isn't in some way related to major schools of bass feeding offshore on big sea herring populations. I'd be interested to know if any of you fishery biologist types can comment on this possible inverse relationship between sand eels and sea herring.

Id say USA is one of the leaders in conservation it only gets worse as you go to other countries. |
