I thank Dr. Pikitch for the presentation. We have learned a great deal from it. I do not come from a fishing county or have a fishing background but what we have learned is very interesting. The important message is the balance of the ecosystem. Something that did not come up at this session but came up earlier this morning is that it is very important to protect the indigenous small fishery families that depend on doing a small bit of fishing around the coast.

Do all fish graze or forage on other fish? I suppose naturally enough they depend on other fish, but do they all depend on other small fish to forage on?
