[Coral-List] Trust peer-reviewed articles rather than the press

[Jean-Pierre Gattuso]

Hi:

That is not true. The entire issue is open access. You can even get all 
articles in a single pdf file: 
http://icesjms.oxfordjournals.org/content/current#Completeissuepdf73-3

Note that I have no connection with this special issue.
