New Direction In Solving Our Fisheries Crisis

October 2, 2009

Analysis of:The next seafood frontier: The ocean | mutualfundsmag.us

Is this unique, raising fish in the ocean? Not at all. The big difference here is this could be the new direction we need to be moving. The new wave of ocean farmed fish will improve our supply chain with out sacrificing the environment where these farms are located. This new method of "fish farming" may well just be the beginning of deep sea aquaculture that helps our supply chain as well as preserves the vital waters where are they located. Now that is unique.

Species Conflict; Salmon, Water, And The Lack Thereof

September 29, 2009

Analysis of:California's breadbasket drying up for a fish | www.renewamerica.com

Species conflict is referred to by Governor Schwarzenegger. The species he makes reference of is fish and animal. It is not the conflict that is becoming, or should I say, has become, a major crisis. The real conflict in California is one between salmon (fish) and man. Irrigation water for farms or water for fish, at first glance it doesn't seem to be a tough choice. Things change, do they ever.

No More Fish Sticks

September 26, 2009

Analysis of:Still Learning Nothing | www.corpwatch.org

"Are the Oceans So Messed Up Even Fake Crab Meat and Fish Sticks are Endangered," This ia a quote from from The Daily Green, but it makes part of my point in reference to, and regarding our oceans reduced bounty. Perhaps the latest industry news on pollock and salmon have not been well publicized, but once the word is out, the public will soon know all about where and why their fish sticks have gone away.

The USA Aquaculture Industry Must Expand, Now

September 23, 2009

Analysis of:Farm-Fresh Fish -- With a Catch | www.washingtonpost.com

Fifty (50) percent of all fish consumed worldwide is from aquaculture. The USA imports over eighty (80) percent of our fish and shellfish. The wild catch fisheries cannot keep up with demand as yearly catches become flat and reports indicate they will be lower in the very near future. Forget about the long term, we need to address these issues now.

McDonalds, Pollock, Hoki And The Worldwide Problem Of All Three

September 20, 2009

Analysis of:Bering Sea pollock survey finds fewer fish than anticipated | www.adn.com

The recent news reports of the Pollock TAC (total allowable catch) volumes for 2010 may change things in the industry. The author of the article believes the low pollock findings are cyclical, I disagree. Perhaps the approaching outcome is the most important issue here, not the predictions of scientists and industry leaders. New predictions as of Friday, however, look quite ominous. McDonalds is now considering a change from pollock to hoki for their filet o fish, just to mention one.

Salmon May Not Be The Answer, Farmed Fish And Canada's Other Opportunity

September 10, 2009

Analysis of:Canada missing boat on aquaculture | www2.canada.com

The seafood industry is rife with news; recent reports, new data and information, and we see more opportunity arising in the aquaculture fields especially. The industry is expanding daily, yet we see Canada, with great potential, not taking advantage of opportunities that are presenting themselves. Canada has vast resources and abilities, but due to the anti-salmon farming lobby, wild salmon industry supporters and some misguided perceptions, these opportunities may not be realized.
