[Frankly I don't care if it catches less fish, dolphins are very important to the ecosystem and are rather intelligent too.]

I'm sure the fish the trollers are persuing with their nets are just as important to the eco-system.

I'd like to see a shift from a wild-caught fish industry to a "fish farm" style of solution. I don't know how feasible that is as sealife is notoriously fickle about the conditions it lives and grows in. It might prove to be too difficult to maintain the proper environment for such a solution to work out, but it'd be nice if we tried that before we fish some of the species into oblivion.
