Prof Wormer: “trouble by 2048”
Globally, he also said fishing stocks were in danger. Ramnarine made reference to the work of Prof Holger Wormer which was published in Science magazine in 2006. He said: “By 2048, if we don’t seriously tackle fishing we would have nothing left.” But he was optimistic it’s not too late. “But we have to do it now,” said Ramnarine. He had based his data on simulations and models on the fishing industry. During the Q&A, Sankat queried why T&T has to purchase tilapia from China. In response, Ramnarine said it was important to work with stakeholders. “UWI has to be a leader in different types of food production systems. We have a responsibility to help in the development of the industry.”
Professor of Applied Ichthyology (Fisheries and Aquaculture) Indar Ramnarine says it is important to regulate fishing to improve dwindling local stocks. He made this comment at St Augustine Profesorial Inaugural Lecture, at Daaga Auditorium, St Augustine, on Thursday. The theme was Fisheries in Crisis: Is Aquaculture the Saviour? Among the scores of people who attended the lecture were Prof Terrence Seemungal, Chair Open Lectures Committee and UWI principal Prof Clement Sankat. They were joined by Prof Dyer Narinesingh, Dean, Faculty of Science and Agriculture and Anuradha Singh former M Phil (Zoology) student who delivered the vote of thanks.
