I suspect several factors. One the water is warmer and for more months in
the Gulf. 2) Its bigger so overfishing has a harder chance of depeleting
the population (also less years - the Bay started with the first Europeans)
and the polution has a bigger volm to be diluted into. If you want a real
tragic gastronomic tail read about how the size and abundenc of oysters
have changed in the Bay since the 1600's. Sigh - some day I suspect all
MD seafood will come from elsewhere. Any epicurian marine/fishers biologist
out there care to comment ?
