Big Trouble, Little Fish
(FISHERIES) CHILE — Fishermen who long ago couldn’t imagine the ocean ever running out of fish are now faced with the daunting realization that it’s happening. Every catch pulled from the depths reveal a pittance compared to decades ago, and the jack mackerel population has dropped an estimated 63% from 2006 to 2011.
