Consequences of over fishing

Recommended Posts

While I'm not saying you're wrong, you're going to have to do a whole lot better to convince anyone. Show your link between overfishing in the Orient and a shark attack in Oz. Then if you really wanted traction, you'd say something indicating change substantially related to that overfishing. For a real eye-opener, you'd include something indicating statistically significant relationship and show causation rather than mere correlation.

Eh, very weak, if any, link between the two.
To see the all-to-real consequences of overfishing, one merely needs to study the history of the cod industry in Newfoundland.
Overfishing causing shark attacks? Much more likely the attack was caused by swimming near a shark that was ready for an easy meal. Humans in the water resemble wounded seals and are MUCH easier to catch than healthy seals or fish. Sharks are lazy creatures and know an easy meal when they sense one.
HAMMER:
Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a
kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent the
object we are trying to hit.

Seems that I can't substantiate that over fishing to fulfill the requirements of the Asian market
is the cause of rising shark attacks but dwindling fish stocks sure dosen't help the matter.

quote from the Daily reel.

Are Shark Attacks Partly Humans’ Fault?

Scientists are attempting to explain the seeming uprise in shark attacks lately, and sharks are not the only ones implicated. Some have asserted that our own population growth and ability to travel to all corners of the world have put humans in areas that sharks have been accustomed to using as hunting grounds. Other human factors are overfishing and ocean acidification, a process that is caused by carbon dioxide emissions. The exact correlation between rising human population and prevalence of shark attacks is not quite known.

Fucking idiots, They've just given permission to every shark in the area.


Hey lets go kill a shark



Every creature on Earth has a preditor. It's how nature keeps the populations in balance.


Who's that preditor that *every creature on earth seems to have*?

:o


I keep forgetting they don't have Iphones, Ipads Droids etc. in the Black Forest.

Assuming you mean "predator", that is only true if you include human predation. For example, scorpions at White Sands have no predators except biologists. And there are many species where the population is controlled not by predation, but by the availability of food.

They have been known to kill each other, ust like humans.
