The War on Fish

The depletion of fish populations in the Northern Hemisphere has ignited conflict between nation states over the fish who remain. Illegal fishing in the Southern Ocean threatens perhaps the last of the major fishery. The use of poisons and dynamite in Asian fishing poses a significant threat to the food security of millions of people. And where are the fish in this sorry tale? What have they done to deserve being wiped off the planet by humans? Dr. Denise Russell is a Research Fellow in the Philosophy program of the Faculty of Arts at the University of Wollongong.
