Some local fishermen were hired by the Port of San Francisco to help with the oil cleanup effort for $3,000 a day, less than a quarter of what they could make catching crabs. The decision likely will make the biggest dent in the highly anticipated commercial season for Dungeness crab, which was scheduled to start in ocean waters outside the bay Thursday but has now been postponed for at least 2 1/2 weeks amid health concerns. The pilot of the ship said he immediately reported the presence...

On the flensing floor, the men blessed it with rice wine - then hacked through blubber and sinew with long-handled knives, slicing vermilion flesh from the massive spine. Even though the 1986 international moratorium on commercial whaling applies more to the high seas than to Japanese coastal outfits, it has severely cut supply, driving prices higher and speeding the meat's plunge in popularity. Then butchers at this Japanese fishing village went to work, turning a motorized winch to haul...

Carroll and her husband, Jason, who live on a farm in Celina, canoed up and down the Buffalo River in Arkansas, baiting hooks with chicken feed and casting lines until the wee hours of the morning. To understand Jen Carroll s love of fishing, look no further than how she spent her first four days as a married woman. Both her bass boat and Toyota Tundra pickup - gifts from her sponsors, which seem to be growing at a rate that can barely keep pace with her burgeoning popularity - feature...

The prices of maize and wheat have more than doubled in the past year as demand for maize for fermentation in the production of ethanol, the biofuel, has grown. Dr Crissman pointed out that it is possible to exist entirely on a diet of potato and one protein-rich food, such as fish or milk. Within developing countries, where family land has been divided into smaller and smaller allotments through the generations, families have less land to cultivate to feed themselves. Alongside the drive...

The online shopping comparison marketplace that helps you find discount shopping and compare prices on products and services in your city and around the country. E ating locally is the big thing these days with all the green talk about cutting carbons and stuff, but hunters and anglers have been doing this for centuries. Even though we burn gasoline to get to our hunting spots to bring home some meat, my four-cylinder compact truck has nowhere near the impact of a plane or semi. Although...

DU officials have labeled this piece of legislation, which is revised every four or five years, as the single greatest potential threat to duck hunters. And judging by the abundance of ducks we've seen during this young season and the glowing predictions for the coming weeks, even the casual observer or novice would say it couldn't be so.
