CTV NEWS: The conservation group analyzed data on 27 foraging species, and found three fisheries are in decline in Atlantic Canada. That includes two herring stocks in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
Seabirds, whales and bluefin tuna face starvation without the teeming schools of foraging fish, which are also critical to the recovery of commercial fisheries such as northern cod, the group says.
It says in all cases, fisheries management does not sufficiently account for predator needs.
