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. Saludos ----------------------------------------- http://imaginarymagnitude.net/blog/
