BRUSSELS (Reuters) - EU fisheries ministers agreed quotas on Tuesday for new member states to catch deepwater fish, exotic but threatened species that are fast becoming an alternative to mainstays like cod and hake, officials said.

With the depletion of EU commercial stocks such as cod and hake in recent years, deepwater fish have become an attractive catch as trawlers switch from traditional fishing grounds.

Scientists have also warned that these stocks are at risk of disappearing. In Europe, they are mainly found in north Atlantic waters at depths of 400 meters (1,310 feet) and more.

What the hell is the EU trying to do. Rid the world of all it's evil fish? Not happy with decimating our waters that had been fished since man arrived on the earth, but now they want to take out the deepwater stuff too?

The EU does not learn from it's mistakes and is a danger to this world. Not only do we have to get out, but I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that it also needs to be stopped!
