...stable and improving thanks to better science and management. World fish catches continue to grow, as does aquaculture, which now provides 25% of the global seafood supply. And your minuscule list of fish "O.K. to Eat" omits scores of products from well-managed, regulated fisheries, ranging from Alaskan salmon, halibut and pollock to New England lobster, scallops and yellowfin tuna.

...example, are computerized ships as large as football fields. Their nets--wide enough to swallow a dozen Boeing 747s--can gather up 130 tons of fish in a single sweep. Along with pollock and other groundfish, these nets indiscriminately draw in the creatures that swim or crawl alongside, including halibut, Pacific herring, Pacific salmon and king crab. In similar fashion, so-called longlines--which stretch for tens of miles and bristle with thousands of hooks--snag not just tuna and swordfish but also hapless sea turtles and albatrosses, marlin and sharks...

An orange was hurled at freshman goalie J.R. Prestifilippo, hitting him in his right skate on two bounces...
...what's the deal with the fish? As if Thursday night's Mohongahela Grouper wasn't poisonous eough, last night we were subjected to Tough Love Halibut and next week surely promises a round of Slappy Salsa Snapper.

Responding to American consumers' voracious appetite for fish, scientists are busy experimenting with halibut, one of the mysterious giants of the deep and a staple of the supermarket frozen-food section. In its ocean domain, this monster grows to 400 lbs. or more and cruises for up to 40 years. It is ugly too; during maturation the skull of the halibut twists, moving one eye to the opposite side and giving the beast -- naturally enough -- a grotesquely pained look. Well, its sufferings are over. Aquaculturists, again in Norway, have produced a dwarf version, at a mere 15 lbs., that takes...
