i have always understood dolphins and porpoises to be the same thing, mammals... there are different varieties of course.... all predators at the top of the food chain in the oceans are stressed for food, many traditional feeding grounds are fished out by huge companies indiscriminantly sucking up everything in their path. traditional fishing grounds like georges bank are so decimated that the fishermen/women have to venture further and further out into the atlantic.it's a global problem.

We are not allowed to keep any wild steelhead trout, only farmed trout are keepers. Coho salmon are almost gone, they haveto be released if caught. Salmon are few as are tuna. It boils down to over fishing and haitat destruction. :-1


Wot? Have I happened upon a gang of hippie radicals or something? There are a lot of countries that are overfishing because they are fish pigs that are allowed by their countries of origin to go out and steal whatever they want. Spain is a big offender.

Guess they'd rather f*** up the world resources balance than help the Iraqis? Go figure? The reason that I can say that the Spanish are doing it is because of the turbot fish fiasco that erupted a few years ago in the Atlantic off the coast of Newfoundland. Coming in and scooping the fish. Cut the net when they were being chased. Big todo. Piracy etc. claimed against the Canadians. The original Greenpeacers weren't too far off the mark. Politicians had better wake up soon or there will be no soon. Guess the more of us that complain the faster things will get done.

Other nations are doing it too. Sheer stupidity, avarice and a complete lack of common sense.
