I think the Celtic Explorer is doing a great job.It is good to see the goverment finally spending our hard earned tax payers money on research.I just hope that the Cod get big enough to start eating the seals.An open season on killing seals would also help the cod fish to replinish.

An upswing in cod and capelin? Wow, imagine that, with those 10 million (or is it up to 20 million now? Every time I blink it seems to increase by a million or so) voracious seals prowling the NL waters eating all the fish. I guess all the seals missed those ones, huh?

we need to spend money on the fisheries. we need to know and understand what is happening to the fisheries. Fish is food, without food we don't survive. eat some fish Derrick, it may help you feel better and not be so negative. congrats to George Rose and his team on a successful season, please come back often.
