The Blob Hides in the Deep

Yeah Alaska cod fishery has collapsed

Thanks blob

The worst part is apparently it did not even bring good tuna fishing. Usless lol
 


And if that's not enough think how these fires this year are going to affect the salmon bearing steams.

Symposium focuses on strategies to save BC salmon

https://www.saobserver.net/news/symposium-focuses-on-strategies-to-save-bc-salmon/

Brian Riddell, president and CEO of the Pacific Salmon Foundation, delivered what could be considered the keynote speech, which detailed the ongoing concerns with the rapidly declining salmon stocks. Beginning in the 1980s, the rate of decline in southern B.C. stocks is approximately 43 per cent, he said, and yet during this same time period, salmon numbers have been increasing significantly in Korea, Russia and Alaska.

The major factor behind the rapidly decreasing numbers is climate change. For two years beginning in 2014, a warm blob of seawater, four degrees centigrade above average, resulted in serious impacts including lower returns and diminished size and vitality. Despite the bleak reality, Riddell remains a glass-half-full optimist and believes the resilient nature of salmon will help them pull through the impacts, along with management embracing traditional knowledge to help build a salmon society to protect and restore Pacific salmon for future generations.
 
Nobody wants to admit that overfishing is one of the biggest culprits… because that would mean it’s our fault, us humans… much easier to blame ocean conditions, climate change, and so on and so on.

And yet, when it comes to research agendas… judicial inquiries… salmon think tanks… and otherwise — we so often want to focus on the other ‘reasons’ for declines: ocean conditions, marine survival, juvenile migration, gravel condition, nursery lakes, etc.
