AHAH!
There lies an excellent ethical question:
How many fish are you willing to see slaughtered and disposed of (not eaten, not processed; just needlessly killed) to prevent the
death of one person?
How many fish are you willing to see slaughtered and disposed of (not eaten, not processed; just needlessly killed) to prevent
harm done to one person?
My opinion? Not quite sure, but it would have to be in the millions, and I would want assurance that the ecosystem would be able to recover. If all of the fish were killed to keep someone alive... I don't know.
