It was a shameful par for a very long course when European, Middle Eastern and North African governments met in Rome this month to decide how to save

 

the fast-vanishing fisheries in their common sea. You’d think there would have been a sense of the need for urgent action at the annual meeting of the cumbersomely named General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean. After all, scientists had warned that 22 of the sea’s 23 stocks of bottom-living fish – including hake, mullet and red shrimp – are over-exploited, and called for drastic catch reductions in fishing.

 

But even though the commission’s raison d’être is to “promote the development, conservation, rational management and best utilisation” of fish and other “living marine resources”, the meeting broke up last week without having adopted a single measure to address the decline............

Guided by satellites and radar, huge ships – dragging nets up to 50 miles long, with openings that would swallow 16 jumbo jets – mop up the ever-scarcer shoals.

 

 

Somebody else who knows what he is talking about.

Or perhaps thinks he does and is jumping on the band wagon.

I fish to live and live to fish.

Weird........ :mellow:

 

Catches of Northern hake, landed around the UK, are looking plentiful this season - so Seafish, the authority on seafood, is urging consumers to try this excellent whitefish.

 

Hake used to be a familiar fish to Britons but seems to have fallen from favour at a time when availability is very good. We only spent £1.5 million on chilled hake in supermarkets in the past year, compared to £124 million on chilled cod (Nielsen retail figures for 52 weeks leading up to 16 April 2011).

 

Dr Paul Williams, Seafish Chief Executive, said: "With properties similar to cod and haddock, hake is an excellent species to try and it's very good value for money. We are lucky in the UK that the quality and supply of hake is great - so I'd encourage consumers to widen their range of seafood to include hake this summer."

Hello stevieg

 

I also heard that hake have dramatically increased in the Northern North Sea but because nobody has a track record of catching much hake in the North Sea most of it is discarded (dumped) due to lack of quota for it.

I fish to live and live to fish.

lovely.......... :)

It is the worms in Hake that upset my wife!

 

I think that we all know that fisheries managers and politicians are a recipee for the destrustion of any fishery, we have suffered it with the cfp for nearly 30 years now.

Roll on the all new revised cfp, just the job for another 30 years. :D

Free to choose apart from the ones where the trust poked their nose in. Common eel. tope. Bass and sea bream. All restricted.


New for 2016 TAT are the main instigators for the demise of the u k bass charter boat industry, where they went screaming off to parliament and for the first time assisting so called angling gurus set up bass take bans with the e u using rubbish exaggerated info collected by ices from anglers, they must be very proud.

Upgrade, the door has been closed with regards to anglers being linked to the e u superstate and the failed c f p. So TAT will no longer need to pay monies to the EAA anymore as that org is no longer relevant to the u k . Goodbye to the europeon anglers alliance and pathetic restrictions from the e u.

Angling is better than politics, ban politics from angling.

Consumer of bass. where is the evidence that the u k bass stock need angling trust protection. Why won't you work with your peers instead of castigating them. They have the answer.

Recipie's for mullet stew more than welcomed.

Angling sanitation trust and kent and sussex sea anglers org delete's and blocks rsa's alternative opinion on their face book site. Although they claim to rep all.

new for 2014. where is the evidence that the south coast bream stock need the angling trust? Your campaign has no evidence. Why won't you work with your peers, the inshore under tens? As opposed to alienating them? Angling trust failed big time re bait digging, even fish legal attempted to intervene and failed, all for what, nothing.

Looks like the sea angling reps have been coerced by the ifca's to compose sea angling strategy's that the ifca's at some stage will look at drafting into legislation to manage the rsa, because they like wasting tax payers money. That's without asking the rsa btw. You know who you are..
