Respond to the following prompt with a topic post of approximately 300 words. By 11:59 pm on Wednesday, respond with at least two comments on the forum. In the first 50 pages of Four Fish,  the author Paul Greenberg travels to the lower Yukon River and is seemingly surprised by a lot of what he sees and is learning. Quite quickly the conversation shifts between the decline of wild Chinook salmon and rise of Salmo domesticus.   Based on the chapter and in your own opinion, how does it seem these issues are related?    

Respond to the following prompt with a topic post of approximately  300 words by 11:59 pm on Tuesday. By 11:59 pm on Wednesday, respond with  at least two comments  on the forum. First read Robert Solow's essay on Sustainability (CLICK LINK FOR PAPER sust-solow)   and address the following:   What does sustainability mean to you and how does it fit, if it fits at all, into Solow's definition?

If aquaculture provides a substitute for wild caught fish, then is it appropriate to think that aquaculture is sustaining wild fisheries?    

Respond to the following prompt with a topic post of approximately  300 words by 11:59 pm on Tuesday. By 11:59 pm on Wednesday, respond with  at least two comments  on the forum. In the section on Cod in Four Fish, Greenberg introduces us to Daniel Pauly's famous syndrome of Shifting Baselines. Describe in your own words what shifting baselines means to you and how you think it played into the demise of northern cod. Finish by proposing a way to avoid falling into the trap of shifting baselines.    

Respond to the following prompt with a topic post of approximately  300 words by 11:59 pm on Tuesday. By 11:59 pm on Wednesday, respond with  at least two comments  on the forum.  In the introductory chapter of Billion Dollar Fish, author Kevin Bailey introduces us to Alaska Pollock and its fishery. Briefly compare and contrast the Alaska Pollock fishery (as described in opening pages) to the Northern Cod fishery of Newfoundland.    

In this final forum post of the semester we circle back to where we started and think about the health of the world's fisheries. By 11:59 pm on Wednesday, respond with  at least two comments  on the forum. In this post ca. 300 word post, please do two things:

1. propose a novel hashtag # that you might use to sum up your thoughts about the current state of fisheries (e.g., are we fishing down foodwebs, shifted our baselines, learned from past mistakes, rebuilding, etc...).
2. Briefly explain why you've chosen the hashtag you propose, making at least one connection to the reading of Billion Dollar Fish to this point (through page 138)
