...past 100 years, the amount of food taken from the sea has multiplied more than tenfold, a rate in excess of global population growth.

The contents of the discussion were not announced, but the talk lasted so long that Brandt did not even have time to change shirts before going to his hosts' official dinner (caviar, pheasant, salmon and suckling...

"We used to put fish nets in the rivers and cricks and get maybe 2,500 to 4,500 salmon, just to feed our teams. But then the state fish and game people stopped us from usin' the fish wheel. Then they stopped us from usin' nets, and then they...
