[@nzhuntingman]

When was a kid 40 years ago in NZ you could not catch any decent sized snapper almost anywhere..used to see trawlers just off the beaches all the time ..just 100 ms out taking everything..then they brought in 12 km limits in the late 90's and suddenly now the recreational fisherman can finally catch a feed for the family with ease again. So I say when this guy spends GBP 1 m on a boat so he can fish more over fished waters in a more intensive manner so he can make more money and same for dredging clams while destroying seabeds so they can make more profit..its all about greed..stupid greed and disrespect for others. Hope they get the 3 mile ban ~ they deserve to make it 12 kms. Fishing for export mainly and wiping out stocks will only guarantee the industry will fail and the local towns will have to survive on Chinese tourists or become ghost towns!

[@robertgreen2288]

Private Name My opinion is that fishing in such a congested should be stopped completely for 2 years. I know everyone will bad mouth me but flounder fishing in my area was stopped and we had a great recovery.

[@SnowTiger45]

It only seem fair. The smaller boats have fished for over 100 years. 30 years of trolling has raped the stock and ravaged the sea floor. So if it's fair that the big boats put the little businesses at risk, it's fair for the little guy to get the protected grounds back and the bigger boats move further out to sea (or go tits up). The trollers and dredgers have put almost everyone out of business and that will happen. It's only a matter of time.

[@heatherrobertson34]

Private Name sigh, ur ignorance is staggering. There's nothing in the first world's seas that are "overfished" and hasn't been since the 50s, any and all types of dangerous or destructive commercial fishing has been abolished since the 60s and a few were left till the 70s. Biomass of pelagic and near coastal fishes are best they've been in 100+ years, however, there is no threat or declines from fishing or dams or pollution, however there is ONE thing decimating our oceans and that's the epidemic overpopulation levels of pinnipeds (like sea lions and seals) and dozen and s half species of whales. For example the epidemic overpopulation levels of sea lions and seals in the USA Pacific Northwest and west coast that has been decimating salmonoid populations like steelhead Chinook coho etc the TRUTH is it's the unprecedented epidemic overpopulation levels of these sea lions and seals that have been overprotected for half century, and they absolutely devastate all salmonoid populations and runs of salmonoids both in near coastal sea and mostly in the bays estuarys and rivers where they chase the salmon up to over 100 + miles upriver where it's like shooting fish in a barrel, the salmon and steelhead are more vulnerable in narrow shallow river then in open ocean & they're fighting river current making em even easier to pickoff and the salmon are almost blind because fresh water deteriorates their eyes and the shallow river water with sun bearing down makes them shockingly vulnerable to the sea lions and seals and those bastards eat half their body weight a day in salmon and they are huge a knot head bull make sea lion is size of Volkswagen! And not only they eat half their body weight a day but they kill 15-18 times more lbs of salmon they the thousands lbs they eat because they only swallow the belly meat whichs highest fat content with least and smallest bones, so they eat only the belly meat and waste most the salmon, and, not only that the bastards don't eat the smaller faster more maneuverable 8-12 lb salmon, they decimate the spawning stock larger 20-30-40-50+ lb salmon that do the most breeding and produce much much much more eggs then a small one. So the absolute decimation in USA west coast and pac nor west salmonoids is prime example of the declines damage destruction to sea life at the hands of the current epidemic overpopulation of pinnipeds and whales, whales are even worse, the public's lied to hs no clue they're epidemic overpopulation I'd destroying the seas they eat and gobble up the essential squid shrimp herring anchovy sardines smelt, squid shrimp etc etc that sustain ALL the other life in sea, AND they don't just gobble up the squid shrimp herring anchovy sardines smelt etc but they gobble up the huge schools of juvenile large fish like schooling baby tuna rockfish cod Jack's etc etc by the ACRE, a single adult grey whale for example kills of more tons and tonnage of the most important essential life in the sea lions in six months then a fleet of commercial long line cod or salmon trawlers or squid or sardine seiners does in a year. And people who don't live and work at sea are ignorant and know nothing but the lies they're told in "documentaries" on marine life which ALL are paid for and produced by animal rights groups that are antifishing of any kind and they lie in every breathe, whichs why you've never seen one that didn't falsely fraudulently claim EVERYTHING is threatened over harvested out of habitat etc etc when the truth reality fact is most of it's best it's ever been!!! And they fraudulently grasp at any red herring false excuse for any declines from pollution to dams to overfishing when every knowledgeable person knows any destructive dangerous forms of commercial fishing that's even capable of causing anything to be wiped out was abolished entirely half century ago!! But people Like u are lied to your whole lives and have no clue. So don't ignorantly spout nonsense shout commercial fishing you know less about the truth facts reality of status of the sea then I do about astrophysics!!

I like it when the captain justify the "by-catch" to be minimal @ 32:45. Nothing that has been shredded by those rakes will show at the surface. I know, from personal experience, when I was a kid, we used to fish smelts way at the end of a cape. We never knew the depth of the water until, 5 years after the trawlers showed up. We could see the sea floor. All the marine flora was uprooted and washed away on the banks. The shelter offered by the kelp was all gone. So was everything else but the starfishes. Effectual is the key. Pick and choose without harming the surroundings.

There is no way a man with a simple rod and hook can create so much damage ! Its over fishing on a large scale. When all the stocks are gone and the fishermen are moaning they only have themselves to blame ! They need to impliment no fish zones like in Australia, whenthat no fish zone is full then the fish\shrimp move on resulting in more populated areas and more fish stocks.

Yep, bait traps and rod fishing are the way to go. Trawlers and long liners should be outlawed worldwide in my opinion. I used to work in the seafood business and seafood is more expensive than beef, but people will pay the higher prices for good quality seafood. You have to protect the species and their habitat. Sadly now days the oceans can't support as many fisherman with the greedy methods but it could if you used more conservative methods once the seafood stocks recover.

Dredges do too a lot of damage! What that guy isn't telling people is that the dredge disturbs pollutants that have settled on the ocean floor. That causes the shell fish left behind to siphon the pollutants in, thus contaminating them. I always ask before I order shell fish if it was dredged, gathered by hand or, "god forbid" farm raised.
