The grenadiers, or rattails, are slow-growing deep sea fish -- they live over 50 years, mature slowly, and may only breed once before they die -- and the increased fishing of them is leading to a population collapse. They are still listed as "numerous", but that is because they can still be caught in large numbers; the problem is, we believe that the vast majority caught have not bred yet, since they undergo physiological changes after spawning and some species die almost immediately after they spawn. <br /><br />Basically, we are still fishing the generations hatched before heavy fishing of them started. Where is the next generation going to come from?<br /><br />The pictures are ugly in more ways than one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20146619.post-47816622462686596432009-04-06T13:29:00.000-07:002009-04-06T13:29:00.000-07:00yep, thats gross.Brendanwww.wildramblings.comyep, thats gross.<BR/><BR/>Brendan<BR/>www.wildramblings.comBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17666432232003984667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20146619.post-73912089772463157992009-04-04T09:11:00.000-07:002009-04-04T09:11:00.000-07:00I'm thinking I would have held that lobster and cr...I'm thinking I would have held that lobster and crab with the legs away from me.
