  This article does not reference any species of fish. It does not even indicate what fish are being taken at the deeper levels...this was a waste of time..We need to make sure that what has always been a renewable resource remains one.

    "Among the most recognized deep-sea species at-risk are orange roughy and Patagonian toothfish, better known as Chilean sea bass. In the deep ocean off the Pacific Northwest, sablefish - also known as black cod - are another depleted species. Deep-sea fishes grow slowly because of limited food sources and slower metabolisms and many don't reach sexual maturity for 30 to 40 years."

  I became a vegetarian to avoid harming any sentient thing, after all, meat is in no way essential to sustain human life. More people should try it simply because it's good for other living things. Then, at least you know you're not part of this crap.

    When was the last time you heard a cow or fish bad mouthing hitler?

    In fact i think i recall a song about him keeping a pet bovine. it went something like "Hitler, has only got one bull..............etc". Apparently he kept another one in the French town hall. Even himmler had something similar. But i don't think poor old Goebels was much of an animal lover because he had no bulls at all.

  I believe that the hormones and antibiotics that are added to our meat supply are responsible for many human problems- cancers and the like. Though I am not a vegan, I do not like to overdo meat, and do like brown rices and different beans.

  Americans are killing themselves with their lack of respect they have for this planet, as well as outer space, where there is so much junk floating around there, it just amazes me. We are killing everything around us, and eventually killing ourselves in the process.

  I have discussed moving out to the country with my husband, where we can raise our own farm animals and grow our own gardens, buy organic or at the least unbleached flour, and just live off the land. Hasn't happened yet.

  Liberal Viewpoint = "The sky is falling, the sky is falling!

  Conservative Viewpoint = "Identify, Capture, Manufacture/(Re)Produce, Harvest, Market, Account, Reconcile, Repeat.

  Realist Viewpoint = "Celebrate Abundance. It is God's gift to us all."

  "'Realist Viewpoint = "Celebrate Abundance. It is God's gift to us all.""[substitute Idealist for realist in quote]

  A logistical plan to spread the abundance you celebrate would lighten up the glum attitudes around here.

  Do you remember when the Cambodians were starving, and the tons of food were left to rot on the docks, because the leaders were too selfish to distribute the needed supplies?

  God may endow many gifts but we aren't living up to our end of the deal. Humans are the most inhumane creatures on the planet- That is the realist view point.

  Being a conservative and a skeptic of nearly everything in blogs, I researched some of this. Guess what, the writer is right on the money and the conclusions are also. The Orange Roughy is a very slow breeder, but tasty. At the rate this species is being caught, their population, as a viable species, will crash. New Zealand looks to be hell bent on catching all of theirs. If the Asian's appetite for fish cannot be shifted from salt water species to farm grown freshwater species like catfish, world fish populations will eventually crash. BlueFin Tuna fetch huge prices with the record being over $300,000 for one fish in Japan. At these prices, the bluefin tuna is in big trouble. No matter what your political positions may be, an Ocean without fish would

  be a very bad omen for humans. Just think of Africa with populations far beyond the capacity of the land to support. Would you like to live there? Fish can only feed so many and we are past that point now. Pay attention.
