Main point: Explain why the strategies to recover cod population did not work
Paragraph 1: In early 1990s, cod fisheries collapsed in the N.Atlantic, causing a boom in cod's prey. To recover cod population, strict limits on cod fishing or a ban on it were introduced.
Paragraph 2: Recovery was predicted to be 5 to 6 years. However, there was no sign of recovery after 6 years.
Paragraph 3: Failure reason: Initial estimates were based on how fast cod can reproduce but not how food web is organised
Paragraph 4: Forage fish boomed when human lowered cod population and threatened young cod. Even without fishing cod, it were unable to rebound
Paragraph 5: Forage fish's booming -> outstripped food supply -> forage fish population dropped -> young cod better chance to reach adulthood -> cod population increased by 30%
