New York's Toadfish Fishery

Episode 1 - Toadfish: A Cautionary Tale In the 1990s, commercial landings of a data deficient, unregulated fish in New York waters increased by more than 300 percent in a single year without fisheries managers taking note and assessing the sustainability of the fishery or its effects on other fisheries. How did this happen, and could it happen again in the face of climate change, the culinary trash fish movement and developing international markets? Host Ret Talbot and his guests go beyond the data in a quest to answer these and other questions.
