A fact from Pacific herring appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 27 November 2006. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the prolific spawning of the Pacific herring can lead to egg densities of six million eggs/m² on submerged vegetation?

Overpopulation causes over-fishing?

I would like to see a reference to this. I believe that we can have large populations and not over-fish. Dkreisst 09:21, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Some things are so self evident scientists dont bother to publish articles on them. Nevertheless i have added a few cites for your edification...there are many more. or just plot the human population vs the number of collapsed fisheries over the last forty years and you have it. Your point is further unrealistic in that people demand fish. the more people, the more demand. are you going to legislate that a human can only eat so many ounces of fish per month? the actual trend is that per capita fish consumption is on the rise as the expanding population not only demands more fish because of more people, but because more affluent world population is choosing fish over beef and other options.

Thank you for the prompt response. My concern is a real one, especially given the recent and historical racism within the environmental movement concerning overpopulation. In the future please respect other's comments and control the tone of your response. Comments and phrases like "duh" and "for for edification" do nothing to help your argument.

That said, thanks again for your research.Dkreisst 19:15, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Anlace, just a note: the NYT article you cited specifically states that there is no cause and effect relationship between, what I make out to be "severe enviromental degradation" and collapsed fisheries. It doesn't even mention overpopulation. Dkreisst 10:19, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Moved NYT article source from the word "overpopulation" to the word "overfishing." See above. Dkreisst 07:44, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What is a DPS?

Please do not use acronyms without first defining them. FatBear1 (talk) 22:24, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nevermind, I see it now. Sorry. (You still should probably place the acronym in parenthesis after the full phrase, like this

"distinct population segment (DPS)" — Preceding unsigned comment added by FatBear1 (talk • contribs) 22:32, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fishery Collapse

When talking about Pacific Herring collapse, it seems odd to leave out the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill (which either directly or indirectly caused he collapse of Pacific Herring in the Prince William Sound). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.230.99.66 (talk) 17:01, 18 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
