From today's Southland Times, alarm sounds over the blue cod fishery in the south but not everyone is 'concerned'
"Declining blue cod catch rates have fishery experts concerned about the future of a multimillion-dollar quota area off the Southland coast."
"Saltwater Science director Glen Carbines said his company was two years into the four-year study and preliminary findings were concerning."
"... We can safely say we have concerns for the fishery," he said.
However, our 'rip, sh*t and bust' spokesperson, Cyril Lawless, famous for his dismissal of the plight of the Hectors dolphins, thinks otherwise.
"Riverton Fishermen's Association president Cyril Lawless said he did not have concerns for the industry."
If you didn't laugh, you'd cry.
I'm not feeling so chipper about what's in my freezer either...
