I'm sorry for peoples livelihoods but I also but this gives fish stocks a chance to replenish.

Japanese fishers may learn from S. Korea:

Sad for those whose livelihood is suffering from those markets including all those who use and consume those fish.

However tt this time, when there is so many fish is available and to help those at those markets, it may be a time for scientists and and oceanographers to actually study the entire fishing and consumption routes, methods and uses to really get a better handle on the effect of pollution from man and nature.

One such study could be to determine the change in various man made chemicals and plastics in those fish. Oceanographers can now know where those fish we caught and see the concentration of and movement of species in the ocean as well as the flow of pollution at different depths.

For all we know, much of the world weather is affected by the temperature of the oceans like El Nino, may be because of pollution in the oceans as well. The obvious plastic pieces when in powder and microscopic form is full in the oceans and mush of which the shellfish is known to clean out actually stays in those sellfish. That is a health and medical problem. However the concentration if such massive amount of plastics along with chemical released into the ocean besides our bodily discharge which is full of many such chemicals, may actually be absorbing sun's heat to warm the oceans and also may be being carried on by the winds to affect every living organism on the continents (land) as well. After all we all know the world is one.

That may also be affectijng the ozone layer which most scientits are blaming on carbon dioxie which is part of the global warming.

With all the lock down time and here to fore untold free time (just imagine time to travel to and from work) there are some hours available for such research which may be quite comfortably done by acquring data from the vast inrenet resources. One thing we know is that traffic was so drastically reduced even during this short 2 months that carbon emissions world wide from all sources except from nature is drastically reduced.

This would have been a good time to let fish stocks replenish, but I think we all know the Japanese fishing fleet will continue to pillage the sea of every last scrap of life, and ask Dear Leadet Abe to buy their unsellable stocks. Which he will.
