Saltwater fish numbers decline

Where did all the fish go?

It should come as no surprise that the number of saltwater fishes is declining. The eye opener is that species not targeted by fishermen are also being reduced.


According to a recent report, overfishing alone is not the problem.

Scientists suggest the decline may be the result of changes in coral reef habitats that have taken place over the past few decades.

Prior to this study, scientists attributed the decline to overexploitation of sea life.

James, I didn't know whether you've read the news or not. According to the Japanese's news, the Tunas will be totally wiped out by 2012! It's a very shocking news...

In order to overcome the problem, the Japanese government have planned to rear the Tunas by using the latest technology!

I read something about that. It's sad to think we'll only see tuna at the aquarium!

Yep...a lot more factors to it than just overfishing. Now, to just bring it all into balance again so that we can all enjoy the beautiful colours and underwater inhabitants when we visit their home...

Every little bit of positive action counts.

The sea is so vast and most of it unexplored and yet we've managed to screw it up!
