the bad news are that cod is near to become officially extinct.

The captures were being smaller and smaller campaign after campaign,  
and as many studies said, the newer fishing techniques are completely  
spoiled their capacity to reproduce once they have fished almost all  
the active males. They require a long time to be sexually active and  
they were sistematically spoiled for decades, so sadly it seems that  
there is little hope left for the cod, even ceasing its fishing.

Soon we're not able to say "In cod we trust" anymore.

I readed that here and somewhere but mainly at  http://www.ices.dk/ 
indexfla.asp after the failure to reintroduce the cod in the north  
atlantic sea, about a year ago. Their latest newsletter http:// 
www.ices.dk/products/newsletters/Ices42.pdf  seems to be a little  
more optimist in a predictable scenario, but yet I only have readed  
it in diagonal.

Sorry for the totally OT even into the OT Aussie thread.
