shhhhhhhhhhhhh


Well now that the whole world knows where to go Pompano, what will we do when they all arrive?? I say keep them or a good part of them (whoever they are) away cause as soon as they figure a way to catch em all, we're doomed. Question being:
Why are some (species)stocks doing surpisingly good despite the huge overall decline in fish/shark populations.
The answer may be very complex like entire ecosystem of the Sea of Cortez.
I have read a number of articles pertaining to the proliferation of certain species due to the loss of other species of animals. It's the old proverb: "where ever there is a vacuum or void it will be filled by another". Since I derive my own hypothesis from various sources and do not rely on (pure) data for my opinions (I don't get much credibility from the researcher types) I am sure that I would agree on many environmentalist issues and concerns. They are now so complicated that the issues become clouded,rarely seeing the problem clearly. Scrutiny, big brother and big money drive the political arena when a commodity is involved. Our oceans and seas are a great commodity given a clear understanding of how to manage the resource. Iam afraid that it is a murky picture for Mexican legislators when confronting harvest restrictions regulations an/or reductions in limits. This may have lead to this increase in Yellowtail numbers and size or I could be wrong and may just be the normal cycle of the Sea? It would be nice to REALLY know these answers..

Sharks:
Not so complicated. Not so murky. Not so complex. Yes - a great commodity. So why pee in the punchbowl. Ignorance.

I took this picture about 20 years ago


at Punta San Francisquito. These fins are the upper lobe of the caudal fin, each fin represents one shark. They apparently threw away everything else. Now you see salted meat drying, not back then. It is not surprising that the midriff shark population is down considering this type of pressure. Throughout the summer months you would see several pangas like this drying every day.

bits and pieces bring big bucks


The fin-fished shark buyers are not as welcome as they used to be. It's the same as hunting Black Bear for the gall-bladder or Rhino for the horny. Bastards
I have this very recent photo I took near Mulege of maybe 30-40 Hammerhead Shark heads in a pile on the rocks. All 3-5 footers I'd guess. How deep are these poor little puppies? They have no problem catching them, obviously.:(
