Global warming is good if you like calamari.
Catches of finned fish have plummeted over the past decade but the squid catch has increasing. Squid populations are no longer limited by their food resources because chronic overfishing has removed their natural competitors in seas. The fish that squid used to complete for food resources with have now been fished out by Japanese fishing practices, leaving squid with much more to eat and they are growing in population. The market is flooded with squid, consumer demand is low, and prices have crashed.
