So the natural BB sockeye are depleting the oceans now?

Some may say that it does not matter but I have news for you, those sockeyes eat the same things our jack kings are trying to eat. Both sockeyes and jack kings feed largely on crab larvae, only the sockeyes eat them when they are a quarter inch long and jack kings eat them after they are about a half inch long. All these extra sockeye are consuming most of our crab larvae before it can reach the half inch stage where a jack king can locate it. Our scientists are now telling us that 98 percent of our half inch or larger crab larvae have gone missing in the ocean. This should alarm even the non-fishing public to no end but do you hear anything about it?<br /><br />http://peninsulaclarion.com/opinion/letters/2013-08-02/fish-and-game-needs-to-maintain-natural-salmon-ratiosAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
