The Atlantic herring is one of the most important pelagic species in the Gulf of Maine and throughout the North Atlantic. Many species of fish, bird, and marine mammal rely on herring as a source of food. Herring, which filter tiny zooplankton such as the copepods out of the water, are consumed by top marine predators such as birds and seals. Herring therefore form a critical link between the base of the food web (plankton) and other marine organisms. Herring, an important link in the food chain of the sea. They subsist on zooplankton. Herring play an important role in the oceanic food chain in that they are primary converters of plankton. Peter Bisschop 9921 E.

We have seen the effects of managing herring using the traditional approach: one that manages a single fish species for the benefit of the directed fishery without regard for other fisheries or marine animals that depend on herring. The Atlantic herring may not be the only prey fish in the region, however they are under more pressure today than ever before. Since 1985 the river herring – alewives, blueback, and shad – have declined by over 90%, leaving the Atlantic herring as one of the few available prey fish.

Besides the known value of the Atlantic sea herring, everything on the planet affects something else, and we don't know the tiniest amount on our own connections to everything, let alone the complexity of other creatures' interconnections. For all we know, sea herring may contain an oil or a cell that could become a miracle drug, or maybe it is food for a very rare and valuable species. Or maybe it controls a species that is very dangerous to the ecosystem if unchecked. We have not fully explored our own planet or the species on it, and time is running out trying to keep mankind from destroying most of it. Joan Jones 7050 Talladay Rd.

Think the American Buffalo...Only in this past century has Conservation become a serious topic and a vital science. All ecosystems are finely tuned, interdependent, and integrated in such a way that the decimation of a single species can throw the entire system off balance. In the same way that a good predator to game ratio can ultimately prevent forest fires, certain species of fish are critical to healthy balance of aquatic systems. Atlantic herring are a pivotal species on which many of the fish we tend to consume depend on. Because we need to assure adequate supplies of fish for consumption in the future, it is vital that cutting edge and comprehensive conservation methods be applied to the Atlantic herring, preferably as soon as possible.
