If a small, discrete stock had existed in the Bay of Biscay, then localized hunting by the Basques may have led to its over-exploitation and subsequent (near) disappearance there.
Ukoliko je postojao mali, diskretni broj jedinku u Biskajskom zaljevu, onda je lokalizirani izlov Baska mogao dvoesti do njihovog prekomjernog iskorištavanja i naknadnog (skoro pa) izumiranja.
