So has Japan.
Citation? Because as best I can tell Japan has been doing what they can to prevent fish obtained by illegal means from hitting their market. https://www.seafoodsource.com/news/supply-trade/japanese-leg...
Where I live (Finland) salmon is most likely the most commonly used sushi/sashini fish. It tastes absolutely great, IMHO better than tuna. Hopefully other countries can also start using more commonly available fishes for sushi/sashimi and don't just stick to tuna because of historical reasons.
Japan kind of considers Salmon a junk fish, though I agree with you. https://www.npr.org/2015/09/18/441530790/how-the-desperate-n...

Meat subsidies? There are programs to support smaller suppliers, increase competition. Not directly make beef cheaper. It's something like a billion a year? Sounds like a lot; your part was $2.50 in taxes. Not very significant in a trillion-dollar budget. Removing these programs would probably have the opposite effect: letting competition languish would leave one or two large players, who could set the prices anywher…
The point of the comment wasn't the meat prices, but the preservation of the environment. Higher prices will mean less consumption which will mean less production so a environment win, and still room for a small but also expensive producer or two. Unless the duopoly will want higher production and decrease the prices so we will land in the same place, environment-wise. Or am I getting the subsidies point wrong?
Isn't this issue almost exclusively caused by the Chinese fishermen?
Do you have a source for this? Or is it just speculation? To be honest it sounds kind of xenophobic to just randomly blame the Chinese.
Nothing xenophobic or random. It's facts.
Here's one article:

What evidence has lead you to this belief?

Oh, that's a paywalled article. Well, here's another:

Can you point out any vegan/vegatarian suffering from an amino acid imbalance (while eating an isocaloric amount of food; i.e., not starving)? Even a case study would do to demonstrate your point.
https://bmcnutr.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s40795-02... “In conclusion, our study showed that many vegan diets in the present survey failed to meet the daily protein intake requirements, both on single days and on all three days. Furthermore, the diets were particularly limited by the essential amino acids lysine, the sulphur-containing amino acids, leucine and valine.”
> the recommended energy intake was not met on any of the days by more than half of the participants (55%) (Table 3), and only 10% met the recommended energy intake on all three days.
Fig. 1 even directly demonstrates my point: https://bmcnutr.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s40795-02...

For a vegan who has a sedentary lifestyle, the problem is not getting appropriate amounts of amino-acids from the food, but getting them without eating so much as to cause a rapid gain of weight. Lean meat provides proteins with very little of anything else, so it is extremely easy to choose a menu providing enough proteins but not too much energy. Among vegetable products, only the seeds contain decent amount of pro…

interestingly, blue crab from the US atlantic coast is now an invasive species in the mediterranean.
We should ship over a few large containers of "Old Bay", perhaps that will help fix that problem over there. Blue crab are, indeed, "Good eats".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passenger_pigeon Passenger pigeons were hunted by Native Americans, but hunting intensified after the arrival of Europeans, particularly in the 19th century. Pigeon meat was commercialized as cheap food, resulting in hunting on a massive scale for many decades. There were several other factors contributing to the decline and subsequent extinction of the species, including shrinking of th…
Because of the laws of international waters etc it’s essentially impossible to police, short of aircraft/naval patrols being willing to fire on violators on sight. There is no legal basis to keep another nation from overfishing as long as it happens in international waters, and china largely just does what they want even in territorial waters. Unless you’re willing to start an international incident the best you can…
Yes, but not when you are the US of A. /s
