yassertariq discovered 7 weeks ago- Tropical fishermen catch far more species than reported officially.

"The whole picture of fisheries that we have is basically wrong," says lead author Daniel Pauly, of the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. "The underreporting is of such magnitude that it boggles the mind."

- This is of huge concern for me. The ocean is one of our least understood and most important resources. We hardly know anything about it and who knows how much we have already destroyed. So much to learn about our past and future. Fish was the hardest part of not eating meat for me, I love sashimi! But I can not eat it anymore knowing that it is supporting that kind of lust that will deplete our oceans of its residents. Not to mention rob our future generations of the joys just under the waves. I strongly believe that we must look to the seas for our future survival (not Mars, though space is very interesting as well). Thanks Yassertariq for the find! n~

- From the page: "The worst problem was found in American Samoa, where reported catches for the FAO period were 1,525 metric tons, but the authors' reconstruction put at 25,380 tons. Three- and fourfold underestimates were common. The authors believe further analysis will in many cases lead to even higher results. In a few cases catches were overreported, but this was due to countries such as Vanuatu allowing foreign vessels to register there, leading to foreign catches being counted in a country's official tally."
