it's had a massive effect,just remember 70years ago there was billions of herring in the north sea, and chasing them up and down our coast line were huge shoals of big and i mean big tuna, all gone now, how the cod, plaice whiting ect have managed to survive in their depleted numbers god only knows, but i'm 100 per cent certain they will go the same way as the herring and tuna.

do you think commercial fishing has had an effect?

Yes, but it is also that time of year. Summer species aint here and the winter species are long gone. Should pick up soon enough though.

Over fishing isnt being controlled...years ago there were only a few boats out there...fishing used to be a sport not 2 make as much money as you can by wipeing the north sea clean...by the time those money grabbing pigs in parliment do something it will be far to late and the fishermen/women will have nothing but seaweed and crabs (if they havent already been wiped out) to catch
