Endangered species of fish in the macrobiotic diet

[Tanuki]

I'd like to see a greater awareness of the issue of endangered species of fish in this Forum.

This site includes a recipe for Orange Roughy. This is an endangered species of fish and must not be eaten.

I've e-mailed the site about this but I've been ignored.

Atlantic Cod, Swordfish, Chillean Sea Bass and Caviar are also on the list.

Fishing The Sea to Death with Joshua Reichert

The is a profound interview conducted by the California-based broadcasting network New Dimensions.

"We are simultaneously a destructive and a compassionate species. While humans are responsible for greater environmental devastation than any other creature, we are also capable of rising up in defense of other living beings and systems when we see a need. However, changes in the ecology of the sea go largely unnoticed. As a land species we have little awareness of what’s happening beneath the waters."

Tanuki,

Appreciate your headsup on the recipe from Mitoku being on our web site and its implications. I have removed it, but please do continue to enlighten us on this whole issue. I have some sense of overfising being done, but obviosuly there is much I do not know on the subject.
