HunterBoyTellEm 0 Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Has anyone watched any of these yet? I was aware of discarding and fishing quotas before but didnt know it was like this. 20-30lb cod being thrown away cos thats not what their fishing for, tons of decent fish being dumped dead. Its a proper, proper shame but its good to see how much momentum and support this campaign has got, i think they might actually be able to acheive something. Ive signed up, if anyone else wants to have a look here www.fishfight.net ta Quote Link to post
3 Turns 326 Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 ALRIGHT MATE.YOUR RIGHT ITS AN ABSOULUTE FXXXXXXG DISGRACE. WHY FEED CRABS WITH PERFECTLY GOOD FISH THAT IN THIS DAY/AGE COULD BE MORE PROFITABLE AND COST EFFECTIVE TO KEEP. NO WONDER OUR FISHING FLEETS ARE ON THE BACK FOOT AND IN THE NEXT20YRS WILL PROBABLY BE EXTINCT . FISHERIES MINISTERS SHOULD GROW SOME BALLS AND FIGHT BACK INSTEAD OF TAKING IT UP THE AXXXE ALL THE TIME. IVE SIGHNED UP MYSELF.ATB. Quote Link to post
neil cooney 10,416 Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 For once this really is a television campaigne thats worth fighting for. Sickening to see all those healthy ,fine fish dumped. Did anyone see the fishery minister being asked to identify the fish species, failed badly. Quote Link to post

doddsy1970 9 Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 It was an absolute disgrace but that is the downside of being in the EU. (I cannot think of any plus sides). Why can they not come to some agreement like getting a lower price. Quote Link to post

shamus 36 Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 I fish commercially for a living and it would be good if this national disgrace did recieve more attention. Any system that forces the discarding of dead fish will never work and is totally unsuitable in a mixed fishery,nothing and nobody benefits from this travesty, The fact that this happens at sea and is pretty much invisible is the only reason it continues,imagine a similair scheme on land,rotting corpses strewn about,there would be uproar. My boat is equipped for all types of static/passive fishing but nowadays we really only pot for shellfish as we are never given any quota for anything else and even when we were encouraged to rig for mackerel lining ,which we did at considerable expense,the quota of 300kg a month wasnt viable. The only reason that shellfishing has remained viable is that we,the fisherman,have been instrumental in several sensible conservation measures,ie,pot number limitation and voluntary marking and releasing of pregnant females. Left in the hands of cluieless scientists,the corrupt EEC and our uninterested gvernment the uk industry is doomed. 4 Quote Link to post
