Trash fish Scientists believe that, though orange roughy normally live in high densities, they migrate to form even denser aggregations for the purposes of spawning. Individuals do not reach sexual maturity until they are least 20 years old (perhaps not until they are 30-40).

should still be catching shark

Still love fishing there.

Brilliant.

Lmao imagine being so greedy you nearly sink your boat.

A holocaust. Hard working buggers (my family included), but how we screwed this country!

That's why they're protected. Because of muppets like these.

Appreciate you uploading the footage of the ecocide.

They fished 80-100 tonne and it broke because the nets and the boat simply weren't capable of that. So they just in effect scooped up the entire population of the sandbank, and murdered them. For no fkn reason. Just cognitive insufficiency.

There's a reason they're farming "slimeheads". Everything else is decimated. "Overall, fish populations have declined by 87.7 % between 2003 and 2019. Declines concerned >70 % species regardless of migratory behavior or IUCN status." The writing is on the wall. But the apes cannot read.

A lot of instant greenies leaving comments. If you’re hungry and manna appears from heaven you’re gonna eat it. Nobody knew the fish took so long to breed. They seemed inexhaustible.

Like picking every piece of fruit in an orchard then cutting the trees down and asking why there is no fruit. As a sport fisherman that practices catch and release it amazes me when fishermen complain there is no fish then catch one and keep it, cause and effect disconnection

The GREAT side of the internet, well done.

I used to live in Port Victoria and went to primary school there in the late 80s. I remember being taught about the history of the town, which, as a kid, I had zero interest in 😆. Fast forward to today and I can't get enough history 😀.

Used to be great surfing off the Portland Harbour Trust crusher...

Peuker and Alexander at Broadie?

Thanks.

Good stuff

Excellent doco. Just one small note, Busselton Jetty was 1.82km at its longest, although i think they took a couple of hundred metres off the end, during restoration, and they also built a beautiful underwater building with viewing windows, kind of like a natural aquarium. Busselton jetty isnt very wide, for the most part, and is only so long to reach water deep enough for sailing ships to tie up. Its only 50m deep at the end! From the aquarium, you can see some of the remaining pilons for the jetty section that wasn't preserved or restored, or at least the generation upon generation of barnicles that live on it.

my father worked at the Gordon mill in the 50s, invented the tapered saw while making fruit boxes, got sick of it jamming He was only 17 at the time. Went back home to Gippsland after his Nasho time and started sawmills in Pakenham .

I'm allowed to hate everyone of them.

fkn ronnie is a hard bloke be good to have on youre side

so much respect for these old blokes the real men of the world.

love this my old man and grandad and both my brothers are in the forestry in new zealand deep south.the guy in the check shirt is a tank

When the ships were made of wood, and the men were made of iron.... I've had the fortune of knowing a REAL Cape Horner, Captain Løkkebø, and I work as his secretary at the last IACH Congress. 16 years old he rounded the cape on a square rigger, "Winterhude" with 20 men on board. It took 42 days! They had no say over what way they sailed, and for FORTY-TWO days they weren't out of their clothes.

Thanks, awesome video.

Typical Boomers insatiable greed with no fucks given for the future generations

I love it (not) when fishermen tell authorities that the management of a fishery should be left to them. It's like suggesting that putting a fox in charge of the henhouse is a good idea. Greed is an awfully difficult behaviour to overcome.

We were eating orange roughy a couple times a month in the 80s when I was a kid in the U.S.. it was the cheapest fish you could buy and tasted like lobster. My mom was thrilled we could eat such good fish so cheap. In the U.S they called it poor man’s lobster. Some new fish they found down deep that was cheap and tasted good.

Overfishing at its best

Love watching Documentary like this, we need to do jobs like this in Australia again.

Loved this! Great work, and thank you so much for bringing my childhood, and the contributions of my ancestors (the Jarretts)🤩, back to me xx

Hey up Gary what a lovely video really well done and narrated though i do miss your voice as have watched so many of your videos

Great video garry 👍🏻

I surfcast for gummies off the east coast of New Zealand i love em they are great eating great fighters.

This is more than the break wall, this is a history of the times themselves and the sad devolution of the true Australian male. All cudos to you Garry for ALL your loving embrace of the men who work the fishing boats, cray trawlers and this incredible harbour story... Thankyou

Great stuff Garry...enjoying everything you make mate..

Well done, great production.

Another great program Garry. Not sure what time period these were made, but i love it! Good editing, narrating, and footage. Keep em coming

I loved seafood especially sushi but will never eat any fish again. When the ocean dies, we die. Trawlers should be illegal.

ships of wood man of steel

Greed and stupidity. It is still going on in other areas of society today. I am sad over how ignorant we all are.

Just brilliant

Who brings horses in ? Their were were already horses .

The native Americans/ indians called the sails clouds .

If not perhaps

That was a check after

St.Elmos fire

Bringing up netloads of fish that took 80 years to mature? What could possibly go wrong. Mankind's greed is infinite
