November 7, 2009

Analysis of:Canada to probe missing salmon stocks: PM | www.google.com

We have no idea what happens to the salmon when they go out to sea, but they always return. Well, up until now they have returned, this year they did not. This has had a devastating and ruinous effect on a billion dollar fishery in Canada. The sockeye salmon appear to have just disappeared. The appropriate Canadian authority is out to find the answer, they also should seek a solutions, looking forward, for the industry as a whole.

Ecuador Shrimp Problems May Be Good News For US Shrimpers

October 22, 2009

Analysis of:The Disappearance of Ecuador’s Mangroves | fishfarmaz.com

The USA shrimp industry has taken its share of hits lately. The imports form China, Cental and South America have caused the prices to drop to a point where US wild shrimp just seems to expensive to the average consumer. This may be about to change, as we look more closely at what is happening with the Ecuadorian farmed supply.

Did CBS Just Wake Up To The Growing Salmon Problem

October 21, 2009

Analysis of:Salmon Industry in Deep Water | www.cbsnews.com

The story presented by CBS recently is a great illustration on why no one outside the industry seems to be aware of our growing crisis. Unfortunately food production, fisheries and more directly the farmed salmon industry does not garner the headlines. Well not yet, although they do at times, when it is not a crisis but a catastrophe. I believe we could be close to that catastrophe. The population needs to start paying closer attention to the ever worsening developments in our food chain.

October 20, 2009

Analysis of:ECONOMIC INDEX NOW POINTING POSITIVE | www.lvrj.com

     In a week in which Las Vegas learned the local unemployment rate had skyed to 13.9% … passenger traffic at McCarran Airport slid 1.2% … and Nevada bankruptcy filings jumped 64% in the last nine months …. September housing market data actually comes as relatively good news.      At worst, Las Vegas is scudding along a bottom like a sailboat on choppy water. At best, it may be in recovery.      The key statistics: Prices appear stable. Inventory is still dropping. Sales continue to be strong.

Salmon Problems Continue To Accumulate, Needlessly

October 17, 2009

Analysis of:Jacob Scherr's BlogBlown Away by Bristol Bay? Take Action on Climate Change on October 24th | switchboard.nrdc.org

We recently read about the billion dollar wild salmon industry in Alaska and its well documented problems. Some, inflicted by climate change, and how this is crippling a this billion dollar industry. In the short term we appear to be helpless. However, to see the latest developments out of Bristol Bay's hard rock mining venture, and to realize what this could mean to the industry and for wild life, is unconscionable.

The Aquaculture Industry Can Lead The World In Food Production

October 16, 2009

Analysis of:How will the world feed itself in 40 years' time? | www.guardian.co.uk

2050 is shaping up to be quite an ominous year. Forget the new millennium and " the end of the world ", recent predictions that our food supplies could be running out in 2050 seem much more troubling. Predictions about our oceans bounty, climate changes effecting land based crops, and the population levels of 2050, all tell us we are in trouble. All have a dramatic impact on our ability to feed the world. But wait, solutions abound, aquaculture is one solution moving in the right direction.

Salmon Are Losing Their Battle, And Telling Us We Are Losing Ours

October 12, 2009

Analysis of:Salmon - the Climate Change Forecasters | www.fishupdate.com

When we think of the environment and all the indicators of its health, as it relates to our seas and rivers, usually one does not think of listening to salmon let alone quoting them. However, they are talking to us, and we need to listen.

Our Fish Supply Crisis, Could Be The Status Quo, Again

October 7, 2009

Analysis of:Groups sue over offshore aquaculture plan | www.seafoodsource.com

I am speaking of the crisis not the status quo. The latest referenced article is illustrating why we will not develop off shore aquaculture. It may be just the first shot over the bow, but it illustrates that is seems everyone has their own vested interest and who suffers, the general population. They claim to be protecting the environment and our water resources, I think they have a small minded agenda. Look at the Big picture just once.

Short Sales Are About to Increase

October 5, 2009

Analysis of:Short Sales: A Fraying Lifeline for Homeowners | www.businessweek.com

Treasury is announcing new terms that they hope will encourage more short-sales. These transactions have not been very effective in the past, and while this is probably not going to be a game changer, it’s wise to expect the incentives could spur some level of increase in short sales.
