RE: How Humanity is Changing the Course of Evolution Part 1: Under the Sea
This is one of my pet peeves: while the laws are regulating the minimum catch size, we should rather be regulating the maximum catch size.
I'm also supporting the idea of sanctuaries where it's completely forbidden to do any kind of fishing at all, all year around. Not only would it create zones with relatively undisturbed ecosystems, but it would also be very easy for the coast guard to control such regulations, compared to the more complex regulations.
They should honestly do both, and yes the evidence showing the fertility of larger fish is disturbing when we realize that we are culling the fish that should most resiliently reproduce for their species based on our own misguided minimum catch size laws.
