Collapse of all Commercially Exploited Fish by Mid-Century
Quote:
Overfishing and environmental contamination are going to lead to the destruction of fish as a food stuff. Aquaculture still relies on wild fish in the form of fish meal and fish oil so without commercial fish supplies those will fail as well. Just another in the continuing trend for the unrestrained selfishness of humans to endanger their own long term survival. As a side note to this issue the fish meal and fish oil is also crucial to land farming since it is used as feed for chickens and pigs.

Re: Collapse of all Commercially Exploited Fish by Mid-Century
I have a real worry as to what is happening to the Sturgeonfish numbers in the Caspian Sea and across Kazhakstan and Russia, Caviar could be a thing of the past if we are not careful. Unlike the Wal-martization of other rare products, that stuff is not only getting more and more rare and harder and harder to come by, but it is getting more and more expensive.
I'm not normally one to complain about money, but at 3K for a couple hundred grams, for the finest stuff it is getting too much, even for its exceptional quality and taste. God help us all. |

Re: Collapse of all Commercially Exploited Fish by Mid-Century
Read about the Salmon farms in Chile...trust me...you will never buy Salmon from Wal-Mart or Sams Club again...or about any grocery store for that matter.
It is disgusting. WHole areas of water are "dead" because of huge waste downstream...everything dead. But f*ck it right? Why should we care? We got cheap smoked Salmon!!!

Re: Collapse of all Commercially Exploited Fish by Mid-Century
I don't understand.
Why does anyone care. If we don't give a rats ass how our shopping habits affect our fellow countrymen - why give a flying doughnut about fish?

Re: Collapse of all Commercially Exploited Fish by Mid-Century
You kidding? I don't buy the farmed shit - I buy Alaskan river Salmon...I think it is around $17 a pound.
WalMart regularly carries Chili Salmon for $4.99 a lb.

Re: Collapse of all Commercially Exploited Fish by Mid-Century
Hmm...17 bucks an lb is not cheap.
There's a fishmonger that sells wild Alaskan salmon in Waco for 13 bucks, in Wal-marts in Dallas they sell farmed Salmon at 8 bucks per pound. To me it didn't seem like that much of a difference. I preffer smoked salmon, just as a prefference. |
