Hake disappearing
Hake disappearing Hake, a small dark-grey fish used for making
artificial crab meat and fish sticks, is disappearing off the west
coast of Vancouver Island. Officials allowed a catch of 50,000
tonnes of hake for plants to process this year, but three plants
based in Ucluelet remain closed because fishermen cannot find any
hake. The Mayor of Ucluelet is calling the absence of hake a
natural disaster for the region. 25 AUGUST 2000
