With scientists admitting they got the amount of fish in the North Sea and surrounding waters wrong, one Whitby fisherman has said: “Now give us our quota back.”

I can't see anything on the ICES website about this, and the tone of the newspaper article is somewhat hubristic. Sounds more like misinformation than any upsurge in fish stocks.

"A recently-discovered threat to recovery is cross-species cannibalisation, and Mr Locker added: “It’s completely altered our way of thinking, or it’s going to have to. But it’s early days yet.”

As a scientist I'm obviously behind the times here Newt, I always thought it was called predation.... :doh:

Eating wild caught fish is good for my health, reduces food miles and keeps me fit trying to catch them........it's my choice to do it, not yours to stop me!

Typical commercial fisherman attitude - theres more fish so let us catch them.

 

Why cant these people get it in their heads that our fisheries need protection for the long term future?

 

As a beach angler I am well aware of the Cod cycle - the past winter has seen alot of BIG boat caught Cod and alot of small shore caught Coddling with bugger all inbetween.

The big cod need protection as they are mature breeding fish and them little ones the same so they can one day mature and spawn.

Was out recently at the top end of the channel although as far as i'm concerned they were codling being caught, under 10lb. It was pleasing to see different year classes. We had a poor showing last year, however previously it was quite good. The bu@@ers keep coming and going, however following the bloom it should be a reasonable summer for them.

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..

Worms,

 

Only in England. "cross-species cannibalisation" is the term your "scientists" use to show evidence of kin discrimination in cannibalism. It appears your fish won't eat brothers sisters or first cousins. You got some really smart fish.

(the most rediculous term I've seen in a while)
