Ross-O,
I agree with your observations about the relativly gentle treatment the sharks & tuna receive at the hands of the tuna cowboys but am alarmed that they are taken out of circulation at the juvenile stage... that would mean that they havn't spawned yet, no? Another gaping hole in the food chain with no concern for the future. The guy mastermining the operation is a multimillionare from this endeavor. Perhaps it's time for him to hang up his spurs and let the ocean's bounty recover a little bit.
