Mollycoddling the Cod?


It seems that North Sea stocks of cod are making a welcome return to our waters (http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2015/apr/08/north-sea-cod-stocks-bounce-back-analysis-shows). This is put down to a reduction in fishing activities in the location but it might be a bit premature to put the item back firmly on the menu. The finding goes some way to countering the argument that seals (rather than humans) were mainly responsible for the initial declines.
