“Many years ago I was fishing, and as I was reeling in the poor fish, I realised, 'I am killing him - all for the passing pleasure it brings me'. Something inside me clicked. I realised as I watched him fight for breath that his life was as important to him as mine is to me.” YearsImportantFightingPleasurePoorMinesYears AgoBreathsKillingFishesI RealizedPassingPassingsFishing Author:Paul McCartney
“There's always going to be the cooler-clubbers who are going to harvest a lot of fish, but I think the hard-core bass fishermen release just about everything they catch these days. Years ago, I think people were willing to release smaller fish, but now I think they're willing to release them all, and that's the important part.” PeopleThinkingYearsImportantHardWillingYears AgoFishesCoreReleaseThese DaysHarvestBassFishermanHard Core Author:Philip K.

“To meet the huge consumer demand for fish, the industry can no longer rely on hunting wild fish.

“We are here because one odd group of fishes had a peculiar fin anatomy that could transform into legs for terrestrial creatures; because the earth never froze entirely during an ice age; because a small and tenuous species, arising in Africa a quarter of a million years ago, has managed, so far, to survive by hook and by crook.

“If the germ plasm wants to swim in the ocean, it makes itself a fish; if the germ plasm wants to fly in the air, it makes itself a bird. If it wants to go to Harvard, it makes itself a man. The strangest thing of all is that the germ plasm that we carry around within us has done all those things. There was a time, hundreds of millions of years ago, when it was making fish. Then ... amphibia ... reptiles ... mammals, and now it's making men.” IfsMenWantYearsDoneScienceMillionsAirEvolutionOceanBirdYears AgoFishesFlightSwimHarvardGermsMammalsReptiles Author:George Wald
“Our ancestors were eating meat over 2.5 million years ago. We mainly ate meat, fish, fruits, vegetables and nuts. We have to assume our physiology evolved in association with this diet.
