In a year 99% of evidence re the spill will be gone and in two years

nature will have repaired it if left alone , we had a much smaller

partial spill recently in Queensland it is as before , BP might be sent

bankrupt r even pay something in the US but elsewhere it will continue

as oil company's do to fsk the environment completely for profit


Alturnative power is looking much cheaper now

True. Unfortunately, our fishing the oceans barren will have a much
more devestating impact. You know, like the end of life on this
planet. A much better reason to quit eating seafood at this time.

Don't be so ****ing flippant. The seafood industry will take a hard
hit for the next few years, only companies that are stable will
weather the downturn. Many small business people with boats who depend
on a continuous catch will go under and loose their boats.
Tourism, diving boats, and anything related to the oceans will take a
hard hit as well. You think just the seafood industry will be
involved, not a chance, it will be far reaching and last years.

There's a reason why I like the idea of farmed catfish and farmed trout.
There are lots of farmed types that are done in their own 'aquarium type
settings' (and I don't mean a caged set of ocean water). Done correctly you
have a sustainable crop with no ocean impact (the 2 samples are fresh water
anyways).

Stu, keep in mind this affects the Gulf of Mexico, not the whole world. The
seafood industry and tourism off the Gulf will be affected for years, but
not a world-wide event like you make it sound.

I agree, too a point, C. Catfish and talapia are OK. They can eat
plant food which is very sustainable. Trout, OTOH, are protein
eaters. I wonder where they get trout food from. If, like salmon,
they feed them processed protein made from other seafood, not so good.
The other down side is, in order to increase farmed fish yields,
severe crowding is the norm and then antibiotics are introduced to
prevent disease. Constant ingestion of any antibiotic deceases your
ability to benefit from the use of other antibiotics should YOU come
down with something. Another bummer. Nothing is for free. :|

BP is only the Pit Bull that Obama and his DC cronies unleashed.
Anyways, not to worry about the oil, the toothpaste is already out of
the tube, they'll clean it up... at least you can see it... why aren't
people up in arms when for many years they've been warned to limit
their consumption of seafood due to heavy metal pollution, huh, yoose
think mercury isn't killing critters too, yoose just don't see it is
all... you sharonbrown nose imbecile.

I'm pretty sure there's sdtill seafod in Maine, Alaska, Asia, and
South America.

I'm eating fish from Latvia right now (gourmonds will know what I'm
eating).

Perhaps they feed them beef, just like they feed beef fish which
was given a while back as one of the reasons why the US overthrew
Allende, because he wanted to nationalize the Chilean fishing
industry which was used to provide fish meal to US beef to get that
good steak taste. Probably, the extra 10c/lb increase to give
fishermen and cannery workers a decent wage was just "too much".

Either way, whatever is going on here, someone is going to pay for
it with their life.

Total BS.

We had one in Prince William Sound, Alaska, 20 years ago and that area
still hasn't recovered.

You can keep all the oil spills, let them kill your coral reefs &
fisheries and let nature deal with it.

A lot of it is made from krill. Most of
the krill harvest goes to fish food.
It's especially useful for salmon, because
krill is rich in astaxanthin, which gives
the flesh its red color. The ocean is
full of krill. The current harvest isn't
close to impacting the krill population.
Salmon farming is a way to convert this
under-used resource into food.

Yes, it comes from a can.

Have you seen a not-so-long-term graphic of the plume of oil being
carried around the tip of Florida and joining the Gulf Stream, heading
north along the east coast and circling around toward Europe? It was
done by NOAA and a couple of oceanographers, IIRC, about two weeks ago,
and it was very ugly.

I think my Alaska King Crab and Maine lobsters are OK for now, and most of
my shrimp doesn't come from the gulf.
The Atlantic salmon is safe for a while.
In no way are my comments meant to trivialize the event but the end of all
seafood perhaps forever is a bit much.

Ummm.... not what I've heard/read. Global warming is already
beginning to impact major Arctic and Antarctic krill populations, to
the point where reduced whale pops in the Arctic are already evident.

Anyone who believes global warming is a scam is living in a fool's
paradise. It's impacting everything from krill on up and everything
in the ecosystem below, like phytoplankton, diatoms, coral, etc.

I keep recalling a frighteningly prophetic fictional short story
published in one of the Whole Earth catalogs way back in the early
70s. It was about a near instant catastophic accident, a scenario
forshadowing the Exxon Valdez fiasco. Only, instead of merely oil,
the spill was a new super herbicide/defoliant, like ogent orange
and/or Monsanto's Round Up, only hundreds of times stronger to deal
with more resistant food crops developed for a newly emerging
agricultural Africa. The villian chemical, spilled off the West coast
of Africa, immediately began killing off phytoplankton in the Atlantic
ocean in doomsday proportions.

Today, people just yawn about mankind burning off the great rain
forests of the World, but if phytoplankton, which provides 80% of the
World's oxygen, is destroyed, be it a chemical accident or global
warming, what then? The story sounded too fantastic and far fetched
to consider, back then. Not so much, today.

There was massive oil pollution along the New England coast during the war
due to u-boats sinking tankers. The fishery soon recovered.

Remember, Mexico had a MUCH bigger blowout in the Gulf a few years ago.

Figure that pellet is what we don't eat and they arent exactly fishing for
it fresh. It's the leftovers and a wise use of them. It's like when I give
my dog the gristle of a meat. He thinks I'm God and then best thing since
sliced meatloaf! ;-)

There are different types of these farms. Not all are like that. I won't
get overseas hydroponically raised shrimp due to that though.

Very true. The shear tonnage of wildlife ripped out of the sea and
killed in nets is totally unsustainable and is going to end in disaster.
