A Nice Catch of Mullet

[barry luxton]

Hope that they one day can emphatically say who is to blame, then at least the argument can be put to bed and we can get on with some constructive discussions on how to reverse the process...............................hopefully while there's the odd fish left to breed.

 

 

Or what.

[roryh]

Or what.

 

Exactly

 

i personally quite like the odd ocasion when i catch a fish, little un loves it too.

 

Thinking while theres still a few left the 2 parties would be better off agreeing to disagree on who's fault it is, for christs sake its like being in the schoolyard.

 

'you started it'

'did not'

'did too'

 

No take zones anyone? too easy?

 

There are many options but the arguments never seem to follow any kind of direction which could end up with a solution, i may be wrong but from some people this seems deliberate as if any change is wrong whether it be for the good of us all or not.

Fishermen and scientists have known for over 50 years that the status of fish stocks can be greatly influenced by prevailing climatic conditions (Cushing 1982; Hjort 1914). In recent years scientists have focused their attention on the potential impact of climate change on North Sea cod populations. Cod is a cold-water species with a northerly distribution. A series of recent research papers has demonstrated that the number of juvenile fish entering the stock (termed ‘recruitment’) has declined markedly, and there is a strong negative correlation (O’Brien et al., 2000) between cod ‘recruitment’ and ocean temperatures, which have generally been increasing.

 

 

It's all down to recruitment, cod will live in a wide range of tempreature but they need colder conditions to breed successfully, same as bass need wamer conditions.

Hi roryh

 

I to get a little **** off with the same old arguments, i think we all do, but the idea that the fishing is as good today as it has ever been is pure bo**ocks and that the commercial pressure on fish stocks had nothing to do with the colapse of any of the species is insanity, so what is to be done? nothing according to the commercials so how the f**k can you find solutions with such people who dont want one, i think it is a total waste of time trying to, i think its better just to push and pressure the government for what is best directly and say balls to the sfc's your not going to get jack **** out of them the way they are set up at the mo, cheers...............

Hello Stavey

 

 

Nobody has said that fishing is as good to day as it has ever been, some fisheries it is others it ain't.

If a solution was suggested that might be off use and is workable we would be more willing to listen, but mostly the knee jerk stupid ness that most forms of management , including most anything anglers come up with just ain't worth the time.

Blimy Wurzel, i think i'll print it and take it to bed to read. thanks. In a nut shell it appears that our lot have gone to norway or iceland then. I don't disbelive you, but i will reserve my opinion. Thanks

Then lets get some funds raised and lobby, like the commercials do. That means with one voice and pressure all from the same place.

 

I happen to agree that to suggest that commercial pressure does not effect fish stocks is pure fantassy, by the nature of the beast fishing consumes fish, regardless of any oppinions, i am also of no doubt that there are other factors to be considered also.

Well suggest something constructive then

[roryh]

Exactly what i was saying isnt it 'commercials say they dont cause pressure on fish stocks' 'anything anglers suggest is sh1t'

 

Why not take yer ball home ?

 

Newsflash guys, fishing puts pressure on fish stocks (commercial or otherwise) and we have to work together whether some of us like it or not.
