If only one change in the prevailing mindset could be made, it should be to realize that, in the case of fish like cod, big is beautiful. To reconstruct our approach to fisheries management with measures that increase the survival of large, old individuals would be good for the health of our stocks in the short term and would be appreciated by our descendants.
我们需要根本性的新思想来指导渔业管理，以克服因当前不当行为造成的生态和进化问题。占主导地位的思维定式即使仅稍做改变，人们也该认识到对诸如鳕鱼这类鱼群而言，体格巨大便是一种美丽。用增加大鱼、成鱼存活数量的措施来重新构建渔业管理的新方法，将对短期意义上的鱼群健康大有裨益。我们的后代也会因此感激我们。
