Cod Collapse on Canada' s East Coast available in: English (original) \| French \| Spanish \| Italian \| German \| Portuguese \| Swedish \| Russian \| Dutch \| Arabic
In 1992 Newfoundland and Labrador, the cod stocks collapsed, the Canadian governmeant then realized that they had to close the fisheries causing over 40,000 people to lose their jobs. Communities struggled to recover from this state of shock.The Canadian government had been warned by scientists and environmentalists that the cod stocks were overfished and overexploited before this catastrophe had gone any further. This is a great example of outcomes when overfishing occurs. The future is still unclear for the cod stocks, but this catastrophe has become a warning bell to other countries that practice this overfishing.

Now I have a question to ask you. The population is increasing, more and more people are eating fish now, overfishing could be the only way to serve our stomach, or esle what can we do? Any way, fish produces lots of fishes (but 2/3 of them will get eaten by other fishes), if each one produces one hundred fishes, then one hundred fishes will produce ten thousand fishes. Although we are overfishing, but the cod (or the fishes) are not even really close to extinction, shouldn't it not be an important problem to avoid. Take Japan for an example, it had ate the fishes for their whole life and the fishes are fine. Citizens of Japan cannot stop eating fishes, since they had been eating the fish for a long time now, it is still a drug and you cannot avoid yourself taking (eating) it. So I think the fishes has not a big problem in these days, but it is the best to avoid it.

Re: Bossy First of all do you know where Japan get there fish stocks? Well they buy it from other countries and they also fish farm most of it because buying fish from foriegn lands is expensive, they dont do wild fishing much in their own country that is how they get much of there fish products. As you said Bossy the human population is growing, and more and people eat fish now, well because the fish is growing very popular as food, more people go out and fish the demand while the fish try to catch up to the demand. Then eventually the fish are over exploited/ over fished, have little food to grow off of and die off. That is the "fishes" problems (human demand)
