It should be noted that many (maybe "most") ecotoxicologists are not in 
ecotox programs per se, but are part of departments or programs called 
"environmental science," "biology," or "ecology."  Perhaps students 
interested in  ecotoxicology would get a broader education in that sort 
of graduate program. It also might make them more flexible and marketable 
subsequently  when looking for  positions - they might be able to apply 
and compete for jobs in a greater variety of disciplines.

1880's: "There's lots of good fish in the sea"   W.S. Gilbert
1990's:  Many fish stocks depleted due to overfishing, habitat loss,
          and pollution.
2000's:  Marine reserves, ecosystem restoration, and pollution reduction
          MAY help restore populations.
