TL;DR: Diving in the north coast of Jamaica, one is struck by the absence of fish bigger than 15 cm and by the abundance of tiny fish, mostly species of little commercial interest.
Abstract: For a fish, the north coast of Jamaica is a lonely place. Fishing intensities are so high that most fish are caught long before they reach maturity. Coral reefs there are festooned with traps, hooks, and nets, while spearfishers hunt all day to depths of more than fifteen meters. Diving these reefs, one is struck by the absence of fish bigger than 15 cm and by the abundance of tiny fish, mostly species of little commercial interest. What is truly amazing about Jamaica is that there are any fish at all!
