The catch all answer to everything
THE fish in our suppers is getting smaller, scientists have proved.
Researchers at Aberdeen University have found the average haddock is almost a third smaller than in the 1970s.
Their work confirms what fish supper fans in Scotland have suspected for years.
And they believe that the shrinkage is caused by global warming.
The study by the university’s zoology department found that in the last 40 years, the average haddock shrank by 30 per cent.
It couldn’t possibly have anything to do with over-fishing and ocean pollution, could it? Oh, sorry, those won’t get the researchers more government grant money.
Also, I’d love to see said study. I spent about 15 minutes searching the web for it, cannot find it.
