Tuna (longfin eel)
Tuna (longfin eel)

The commercial fishery, as managed by the Ministry of Fisheries over the past forty years, has put pressure on a population already reduced by habitat loss and degradation of water quality.

Very few large longfins are now found, sex ratios are badly skewed and elver numbers are greatly reduced from former times.

Eels breed only once, at the very end of their long lives. They must evade capture for the many decades - from thirty to a hundred years - it takes to reach reproductive maturity, before undertaking their epic migratory journey to the tropical Pacific where they spawn and die.

If there are too few tuna making it to reproductive maturity then the species population will collapse.

This petition (click here) calls on the Minister of Fisheries to place a moratorium on commercial fishing of the endemic, endangered longfin eel (Anguilla dieffenbachii) until such a time as it can be conclusively shown that such harvest is sustainable in the long term.

Nike Free Running Shoes I bought this shoe of nike free run 3 womens after having heard good things about it from other runners. Very lightweight and flexible shoe, Pretty good support but not the most supportive, yet again it is a minimalist shoe, so cant complain I guess.Womens Free Run I use it 3 to 4 times a week, running 4 miles each time, and its held up well. Its a well put together shoe, especially since I do abuse them, since it is more of sprinting than running at 5 minutes a mile. Better shoe than both my previous Asics, Gt 2160 and Gel Frantic 6.
Mens Nike Free 4.0 V2 For the good experience, I plan to buy nike free run 2 men and nike air max 90 prm to my family.

Furla Candy Handbags First off, I am a bit disappointed that they have just very recently raised the price on this bag. It was already a bit steep for a rubber bag. Furla Mini Bags That price increase never should have happened. With that said, I was able to snag it JUST in time before the price increase... I love my bag. It is adorable. Furla Wallets Very catchy and stylish. I bought the Marble color, which appears a tad darker and more subtle in person than it does online, but nonetheless, l love it.
