(11-17) 18:14 PST GENEVA, Switzerland (AP) --
Higher water temperatures are threatening the world's fish by reducing food stocks and stunting growth, which could cause them to reproduce less, the World Wide Fund for Nature said Friday.
Global warming is causing the world's rivers, lakes and oceans to heat up and some temperate fish like salmon, catfish and sturgeon cannot spawn at all if winter temperatures do not drop below a certain level, according to the Gland, Switzerland-based conservation group.
"The balance is set to tip, as climate change continues the pressure on fish populations already strained by overfishing, pollution and habitat loss," said Katherine Short, a WWF fisheries expert. "We must act to protect fish, both marine and freshwater, they are one of our most valuable biological, nutritional, and economic assets."
Although fish metabolisms normally speed up as temperatures rise, insufficient food supplies could slow their growth and reproduction rates, WWF said. Freshwater fish in particular may not be able to breathe because less oxygen dissolves in warmer water.
Fish populations may also move to cooler waters as they search for a habitat with temperatures more like what they are used to — but this could in turn cause problems for other species which rely on them as a food source, WWF said.
About 120,000 sea birds starved to death in the Gulf of Alaska in 1993 because their normal prey had moved further from the surface into cooler waters and the birds were unable to dive deep enough to reach their usual food, the conservation group said.
"If we fail to secure deeper reductions in greenhouse gas emissions we will increase the pressures on fish and billions of people that depend on them as an important source of protein," said Stephan Singer, a climate change expert at WWF.
Fisheries worldwide generate more than US$130 billion (euro111 billion) annually, employ at least 200 million workers and feed billions of people reliant on fish as an important source of protein, WWF estimates.

Steve,
That's March Marlin Madness!
This would indicate "Temperature Induced Tuna Titillation", but that's hard to say, so we may have to come up with an acronym.
Give a hollar on the radio this weekend - No Sniveling is on the prowl!
"Hoo's your Daddy!"

Stuart, I heard that the tunas were footballs but after talking to Steve today I hunch if you tried really hard (or get a little lucky) you could pick up some nice fish. Steve caught one of the largest tunas on record in SC a couple years back fishing underneath the footballs. You'll have to ask him to tell the story. With tuna this far north, we could be in for a banner year. What's a guy to do with so much fun awaiting???? Good luck to you Craig if you head out accross the Sea this weekend.

Thanks, Jarrod! Big or small, I like 'em all!
Given how much I've been seeing on the news about mercury content, we're better off eating the little ones anyway. They're not old enough to have concentrated mercury levels like the big fish.

You should not post photos of other peoples fish without giving them credit but I guess I don't mind.
I know that is not you in the pic as the guy is drinking soda and is sober.
Are you fishing theLIFT tourney or not I am availiable as a deck hand if so. I'll show you where the big ones live.

I like the big ones too - the mercury boils to the surface when cooking and eliminates the need to wrap with foil. Gives a nice shiny color, too! Besides, it has not had any effffffeeecccccccttttttttttttttt on meeeeeeeeeee......

Man, I'm gonna have to put my boots on! Strike that, it's getting deeper. I need to put my chest waders on! That is, if I could still squeeze myself into them. Nothing like an old fat man in neoprene!
This is the perfect size I'm talking about!

I have many friends who are meat hunters and many that are trophy hunters. But what I know about a real trophy hunter is that they have some common sense. I am not sure of the name of the writer and I don't care to name the boat that was being spoken about, but I think the story went something like this.
A certain captain in San Carlos was killing a great amount of billfish in SC and other fisherman were not to happy about the catch and release practices. What I got out of this very important article was that this was not a very well liked practice among other fisherman. So to all you guys who think killing five 100+ year old Black Sea Bass in one weekend is cool, than I must question your fishing etiquette and intelligence. The fact that one person can be so proud of killing so many old fish, that takes so many years to reach a reproductive state, and then gives it away like it was an empty tecate can makes me sick. I question what kind of fisherman this New York Stuart guy is? I guess most of us who love the Sea of Cortez and know something about the physiolgy of the Scianidae have enough sense to say when. I personally saw close to 1000lbs of BSB go to complete waste from your man Stuart. This was only one weekend that I personally experienced but I have been thinking about this day ever since. So I ask you fellow sportsman, either please help educate these people, or do what you did in SC. We all want to keep what makes us smile. I live to fish and hope to keep livin' to fish. [:-?][:-|]

Tidal Dependant - You should verify your facts before you go about making accusations about me or anyone else on this board.
First, I release all billfish. It's the "prime directive" with myself, Steve, and most others on this board.
Second, the black seabass were not caught in San Carlos. They were caught in Puerto Penasco. We catch them occasionally at the 51 mile reef. So, if you think you saw these BSB in San Carlos, you need better glasses. Or a better GPS.
Simple fact is -- we don't target the BSB. We catch them occasionally when we are fishing a deep reef about 50 miles out of Penasco. The fish are dead when they hit the surface from decompression. No such thing as catch and release on these guys. We have, however, managed to release some smaller ones to grow into big ones..
I'll add that not one ounce of the fish I catch gets wasted. I take some, I share with my fishing amigos, and the Mexicans take the rest. In fact, there's usually a fight over who gets the head and carcass -- it is prized by the Mexicans for its aphrodisiac qualities (so I am told).
So, yeah "New York" Stuart (I didn't tell y'all I'm relate to Tony Soprano, right?) personally killed the whole Sea of Cortez. Watch out! Next thing you know, I'll have my own show on the Fox Network called 24 and my name will be Jack Bauer.
Please go back to hugging trees. When you want to engage in a reasonable conversation about conservation in the Sea of Cortez, I'm all ears. Thank-you.
