Following on from the gloom of yesterday and our changing climate and environment, here's another depressing story about shrinking fish. The fact that stocks of large fish have dwindled dramatically has already been documented, but now the effects are being seen with fish species that never grow larger than 30 cm on the increase. Climate change also appears to be having an effect in the water. From the first article linked above, "southern species are suspected to be increasingly present in the gradually warming North Sea. Such migration could eventually influence fish communities as much as fishing".

Posted by: Lisa at September 26, 2003 03:28 PMWell seeing as I've been watching my figure lately, I guess I could look at the bright side -- smaller portions!
Posted by: Vaneta at September 27, 2003 10:32 PMThat reminds me of the time in the sushi joint that Karrie ordered the 'diet special' for an extra Y200. She asked why it cost more, and the answer was 'smaller portions'.
