Fish go to hot spots, this is why fisherman don't notice declines in fish stocks
until they are exhausted. Imagine killing everyone in Shibuya, next day there
are as many as the day before. No matter how many you killThis continues until
the entire population of Japan is exhausted and one day there are no fish, er
Japanese left.
