That would be consistent and explain what I have read. Everyone seems to have numbers that don't always agree. None mention where those numbers come from, define the underlying concepts being measured, or the contraversy. I guess I will have to wait for the eventual article in Scientific American to understand why so many authors write as if they have the only fact.
Any ballpark numbers for depletion of any fish or shellfish species?
As I understand, knowledge about the Indian ocean has been minimal, at best, until the Chinese did some noteworthy research there.
