Commercial Fishing
I am starting a new thread on commercial fishing as it was taking on a life
of its own from Tom's thread.
In the Great Lake commercial fishermen take 64 million pounds of fish out
annually, with 24.5 million pounds from Lake Erie alone. And those figures
do not include the commercial catch from Canadian waters. Commercial
fishing killed off the blue pike in Lake Erie with that fish now extinct.
When talking sal****er large coast ports the figures are even more amazing,
with 400 tons of fish taken by commercial fishermen out of Reedville,
Virginia.
While it is agreed the we need these guys to supply our markets and
restaurants, how much is too much and how much is being exported?
