Fishermen on strike

[fishinmission78]

Eventually something has to happen. The fishing industry can only take so much.

Japanese fishermen go on national strike

But Japanese are gradually losing their taste for fish, as they eat more meat products and opt for meals that are easier to prepare. Faced with the shift in eating patterns at home, cheaper competition from abroad and

stocks depleted by years of overfishing, Japan's fishermen say they are fighting to survive and cannot bear rising fuel costs without help from the government.

^^ years of overfishing,, that says it all. Al Ristori did an article where he talked about a fishing tournament in Japan, the winner was a fish under 5 lbs. Shame on them.
