Fish tales, sad ones, from S.F. fishermen http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1238340500
But the runs of salmon back to the rivers to spawn went into a sharp decline, and last year, for the first time in 150 years, the state banned fishing for salmon. Seven years ago, 800,000 salmon returned to the Sacramento River to spawn, part of a mysterious ancient cycle; in 2007, only 68,000 were counted. Dams and water diversions were blamed, overfishing, warming waters in the ocean, mismanagement of the fishery. Whatever the reasons, it is almost certain the salmon season will be closed again this year.... "What we have is two lost salmon seasons in a row, plus the worst crab season in 40 years," said Pete Kellogg, who is 47 and has been fishing out of San Francisco for 30 years.
"The first day of crab season was a disaster," said Don Ashwin. "And then it got worse."

We need to retrain these fishermen for something practical, like credit default swaps and derivative hedging.
