Reply #4: The last one was sold on eBay

That may sound like awfully morbid humor, but, sadly, it's not. As species of edible fish go extinct the price fetched by the remaining fish rise exponentially. Want the last blue fin tuna? Pony up and you'll get a nice cut.

I had assumed that as we approached depletion of fish stocks we would naturally enter a period of conservation to better preserve the species. Unfortunately my calculus failed to account for the sheer greed and stupidity of man.

You'd think that Easter Island would have served as a warning, but apparently that warning will go unheeded until we replicate the example on a much larger scale.
