The deal with fish oil, I found out, is that a considerable portion of it comes from a creature upon which the entire Atlantic coastal ecosystem relies, a big-headed, smelly, foot-long member of the herring family called menhaden, which a recent book identifies in its title as “The Most Important Fish in the Sea.”

I wish this Times article would've ended here, because I like thinking about this proud & helpful fish.
But instead, no. Why is the ocean always so depressing?
