What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

I'm not sure why the reporter seemed to stear clear of the bigger story here. Why , suddenly , are the fishermen catching such an "alarming" amount of squid all of a sudden? Have the waters in the are shown any significant change in temperature that would attract larger amounts of squid? Why so much squid?

On a related note, the Wall Street Journal's 7/18/06 front-page had this to say:
Greenland's fishermen also are beneficiaries of the higher temperatures. Wam-water-loving cod, one of the region's most commercially lucrative fish, are booming in the balmier coastal waters. In the 1960's, 90% of all fish caught in Greenland were cod. But a string of cold winters in the late 1980's drove off much of the cod population by the early 1990's.
The cod, says commercial fisherman Kim Hoegdan, "just came within the past three years. We have never seen them before in this amount."
Mr. Hoegdan says he expects to catch as much as 440,000 pounds of cod this year, up from about 3,000 pounds two years ago, when the fish began trickling back.

As bycatch, it is, by definition and practice, thrown back into the ocean dead.

Previous posters are correct... the reporter needs to spend more time learning about the cause and effect. This is a half-baked clam report.

I posted this on the Huffington Post regarding this story and I thought I'd share it here to:
I'm not saying this is what has happened mind you but everybody on this planet
needs to know what happens to a marine ecosystem when an apex predator is
eliminated (such as by overfishing.)
When an apex predator is eliminated the species that they feed upon will
propagate without any limit and become too numerous for their food supply to
support them. When this happens these species die off and the next lower set
of species starts the same cycle. This continues down the food chain until
there is almost nothing left. This is referred to as an ecological crash. This
is what happened in the North Atlantic with the Cod. These ecosystems do not
readily regenerate. It is an open question if there will ever be viable
fishery in the North Atlantic any time in this century.
