er, so just about every species of fish found in supermarkets (in abundance) are being over-fished. conservation attempts from anglers are proper and good to hear about and practice, but in the end they are only going to protect the fish that the anglers personally like to go for (who maybe only fish for sport?). the separation that seems to exist in angling between fishing for food and for play (that came about through modern commercial fishing) is a strange thing.
