³7hey MXst call me the ball
maJnet,´ 7Ximato says of his
teammates. ³, have no clXe why
it happens. ,t seems liNe , Jet
hit once or twice a Jame. ,t MXst
happens. $nd ,¶m a pretty Jood
distance away from the plate.´
%Xt don¶t worry aboXt
6ammie ² he can taNe a hit,
and he prefers contact sports
anyway. 7Ximato¶s main
sport is football, where he has
played in the bacN¿eld, on
the offensive line and at line-
bacNer for the Fishermen.
No offense to baseball, bXt
football¶s his favorite sport.
³Football, by far,´ he said.
³,t¶s a lot more my pace.´
7Ximato was easily recoJ-
ni]able on the football ¿eld last
fall, as he sported the hairstyle
of former 3ittsbXrJh 6teeler
7roy 3olamalX, another OreJon
hiJh school Jridiron star, who
excelled in baseball at 'oXJlas
+iJh in RosebXrJ.
7Ximato has cXt the hair

opposinJ pitchers haven¶t been
fooled ² they¶re still plXnNinJ
away at /i¶l 6ammie.

Federal scientists last month
estimated sardine biomass has
dropped below 65,000 tons this
year.
(Yen with ¿shinJ pressXres
liIted, sardines coXld strXJ-
Jle to boXnce bacN in an ocean
devoid of their main food
soXrce. 7he lipid-rich coldwa-
ter planNton that sardines liNe
to eat have become scarcer in
West Coast waters, replaced by
tropical species with less appeal
to the reJion¶s predators. 6cien-
tists sXspect the warm blob is
caXsinJ the planNton shift.
WithoXt that food soXrce,
³the whole system can sXffer,´
said .erry *rif¿n, who man-
aJes sardines for the 3aci¿c
Fishery 0anaJement CoXncil.
7he end resXlt is omi-
noXs for more than MXst ¿sh-
ermen. Oily sardines are a
Ney food soXrce for larJer
ocean-JoinJ animals. $s that
option becomes scarce, pred-
ators switch to less-nXtritioXs
food options and can end Xp
starvinJ.
6cientists believe that
chain reaction is already play-
inJ oXt in a biJ way. $ JroXp
of National Oceanic and
$tmospheric $dministration
researchers last weeN released
a stXdy linNinJ the sardine col-
lapse to the sXrJe in starvinJ sea
lion pXps washinJ ashore alonJ
the California coast. 7he scien-
tists who aXthored the stXdy say
they expect the mass starvation
that stranded ,000 pXps last
year to continXe as lonJ as for-
aJe ¿sh nXmbers remain low.
6imilar phenomena have
been observed amonJ other
species that tarJet small school-
inJ ¿sh for food. %rown peli-
cans are failinJ to breed, dead
*XadalXpe fXr seals are wash-
inJ ashore in California, Xnder-
si]e salmon are retXrninJ to
Canadian spawninJ JroXnds
and seabirds are washinJ
ashore weaNened or dead on
the OreJon coast.

Environmentalists for years
warned that a sardine collapse
was imminent. Now they have
beJXn lobbyinJ to Jet more
conservative harvest policies in
place before the ¿shery reopens.
Research shows that over-
¿shinJ intensi¿es the cyclical
downtXrns of sardines and other
small ¿sh, and ocean conserva-
tion JroXps arJXe cXrrent West
Coast standards are too permis-
sive to prevent over¿shinJ.
%en EnticNnap, a 3ort-
land-based campaiJn man-
aJer for the international con-
servation JroXp Oceana, said
the JroXp is pXshinJ the coXn-
cil to adopt new standards that
woXld triJJer a ¿shinJ ban once
the sardine stocN drops below
60,000 metric tons. 7hat triJ-
Jer point is more than foXr times
hiJher than the cXrrent level.
7he JroXp is also lobby-
inJ for a rXle to prohibit ¿sher-
men from haXlinJ in more than
5 percent of the adXlt popX-
lation in a Jiven season. ,n the
¿nal years of harvest before last
year¶s shXtdown, ¿shermen
caXJht as mXch as percent of
the adXlt sardines in the water.
³FXndamental Àaws in
manaJement have to be ¿xed,
or this crash will be repeated in
the fXtXre,´ EnticNnap said.

$lthoXJh the overall resXlts
of this year¶s sardine coXnt
were discoXraJinJ, scientists
say there¶s a Jlimmer of hope.
6everal years of poor repro-
dXction helped drive down the
sardine popXlation. ,n their lat-
est trawl, scientists saw evi-
dence that 05 was a Jood
spawninJ year.
,t¶s too soon to tell whether
the reprodXctive sXccess siJ-
nals a tXrninJ point.
³7here are some potentially
positive siJns there,´ 0ilstein
said, bXt in order to boost pop-
Xlation coXnts, ³the yoXnJ need
to sXrvive lonJ enoXJh to maNe
it into the matXre popXlation.´
