Lesson 90 What's for supper?
Fish and chips hasalways been a favourite dish in Britain, but as the oceans have beenoverfished, fish has become more and more expensive. So it comes as a surpriseto learn that giant fish are terrifying the divers on North Sea oil rigs. Oilrigs have to be repaired frequently and divers, who often have to work indarkness a hundred feet under water, have been frightened out of their wits bygiant fish bumping into them as they work. Now they have had special cages madeto protect them from these monsters. The fish are not sharks or killer whales,but favourite eating varieties like cod and skate which grow to unnaturalsizes, sometimes as much as twelve feet in length. Three factors have causedthese fish to grow so large: the warm water round the hot oil pipes under thesea; the plentiful supply of food thrown overboard by the crews on the rigs;the total absence of fishing boats around the oil rigs. As a result, the fishjust eat and eat and grow and grow in the lovely warm water. Who eats who?
