It seems unlikely that the small scale bait pangas are to entirely to blame for the disappearance of the sardina ( flat iron herring ). However,
they must have taken significant annual harvests over the years.
One thing is certain, any concentration of sardina along the shore is quickly netted and sold to the sportfishing fleet.

Add one more thing to the Blame List: sports writers who lionize the bait guys and their guild when they need something to fill space, then when a sea
change leaves them at risk and they must improvise to survive, they become "Bait Bandits".

Great find Wolf. Another stark example of the interconnectiveness in nature. Probably the agent in fresh water that causes whirling disease in trout
feeds other healthy things and makes them alive to thrive. What's good for the goose is not necessarily good for the gooser

New data from Dr. David Caron’s lab at University of Southern California found that the gut contents of the dead sardines contained high levels of
domoic acid, a powerful neurotoxin produced by the diatom (microscopic plant) Pseudo-nitzschia

Sounds plausible. Nitzsche had that effect on me.

the fish might have eaten the toxic algae offshore, become disoriented, swum into the harbor, used up all the oxygen (a million fish use a LOT of
oxygen), and died.

For more info check out the author's facebook page ( Gary Graham ). There's some really interesting comments posted under the link to the WON article
"Tuna pens, sardine, sardina and the blame game".
