Strict Quota control is absolutely necessary and it is also good for fishermen if they think the idea through. Instead of negative rage, try some constructive suggestions guys. I have come through the mill since the end of the war when cheap fish was urgently needed to supplement the ration books. I have sold cod at ten shillings per box and sixty years later at £150.00 for the same size box. Boom and bust is no longer an option because we have got too good at our job and are now capable of fishing some stocks below there recovery level. Please co-operate with the scientists rather than quarrel with them, they are better informed than we are.

I'm not against fishing or fishermen as I fish almost daily myself.

[@raimundoferreira7626]

cowboyfromkettins , they only will fish , if there is a market for it . People need to be fed , more people , more food need to be produced . Let me ask you a question , assuming you have siblings , in order to cut the need for this much food , you would be asked to go back in time , and choose one less brother or sister , which one would you pick to not exist ? Pick one and let him or her know about your call , oh , and tell the chosen one that you are sorry !!!

[@cowboyfromkettins]

There is no questioning the fact that people need to be fed. But the way the fishing industry is operated has a massive detrimental effect on the environment, Over fishing, Bycatch/waste, discarded equipment and damage to the seabed from various industrial fishing techniques. I dont see what you are getting at with the whole sibling comment...This is not the same thing, targeting specific species until they are endangered to satisfy market demand is not anything like fishing for survival. My sister isnt going to drop dead If I cant get a cod supper after my night out.

[@manmarvel]

Raimundo, what we see in this video is not about feeding people at this point, its about squeezing every cent out of every dollar, taking the most fish without regards, to make the maximum profit possible. I see your point, but thats not the case. we can feed people w/ out doing it like this. theres other ways of fishing that aren't as damaging, and if that means SOME people can't eat certain fish well so be it. If the fish were going to some super poor country ok, but i bet its some rich country fishing in some poor countries waters, and taking it back to their country.so your argument about moral need to feed humans isn't accounted by the capitalist fish mongers that own this boat.....they are putting hundreds of small household fishermen out of business.... why, for $$$$$$.

The people criticizing this kind of fishing are the same people who eat 300 pounds of beef, 200 eggs and lots of bacon each year, without even caring where all that protein came from. The oceans were over-fished long before super trawlers arrived. What they do now is simply trying to satisfy the demand WE created, since smaller businesses can't deliver anymore. It's about money? Of course it is about money! How many Americans (largest consumer) can say NO to tuna? What will happen to American economy if all those horrible farms are shut down and meat can only come from free range farms? How many will be able to afford that? For how long?... I'm all for protecting our planet, but I wonder what the Greenpeacers eat at home and how do they power their houses.. or that's OK? It's so easy sitting at home, typing from an ipod, or mac, wearing expensive clothes...and all that produced in human farms in China, or Ecuador.. probably by children . But that's OK too.. because you don't see it. Because the news don't speak about it..."What I don't see, does not exist". Keep fooling yourselves, people. We are almost 7 billion on this planet.. We are not overfishing...we are overpopulating. And only a small fraction of that population is harvesting the goodies.

[@70blondeboy]

+Ventsislav Atanasov Come to live in rural Scotland ( that's in the UK ). A large majority of us eat fish that is caught by small local trawler-men on our shores, we eat meat that has been reared not 5 miles from our homes, we eat grain and potatoes that are grown within 1 mile of us, our eggs come from the chickens kept in our gardens. I completely take your point, and I'm not arguing with you in any way - more a case of take heart from the fact that there are still a large number of people who appreciate what nature has to offer, take what they need and don't plunder the riches offered to us needlessly.

+Andrew Wheeler That's the case in most of Europe. I've grown my own veggies and fruit since I was allowed by my parents.

I'm not a "green" person but I do try to live a healthy life, and depend less on supermarkets. Good thing is, this is possible here (Greece). My point was that large consumers like USA and Germany or consumers who don't have the climate for one thing or another (Canada, Russia), depend on other ways of getting their stuff. I just don't get people's criticism. If they are against child labor and 20 hour shifts in Apple's factories in China, then take action - don't buy the latest iphone. Against mass-fishing? Don't buy that fish - buy from the locals (it usually doesn't come cheap, at least here it doesn't)... People will find a reason to criticize everything these days.. Strawberry picking in England? I've seen the conditions Eastern Europeans work in there. But they chose to. Everybody has bills to pay at the end of the month. (Just noticed I'm logged in under different name).

Wow awesome. But those doors don't look big enough to spread a net that big. Lotta hate going on here. Let me ask this... is it better to have 10 boats catching 100,000 lb of fish, or 100 boats catching 10,000lb of fish, or 1000 boats catching 1000lb of fish? Which is more sustainable? Who out there that is slinging hate actually knows what they are talking about? Size is not the issue. Actually maybe it is. Maybe it is more efficient and less damaging. BTW, this is pelagic not demersal fishing. Notice the almost complete absence of bycatch, too. Before spewing hate, get your facts straight. One fact is every one of those fish gets eaten sooner or later. It isn't wasted. It isn't even turned into fertilizer or explosives or cosmetics. Nothing is killed and just pushed out the scuppers like on small bottom trawlers. Sensitive ecosystems are not bulldozed under rollers, loop chain, tickler chain, flippers, and door shoes. This is remarkably clean fishing, about as ecofriendly as it gets. As long as stocks are not depleted. Stocks must be properly monitored. Boats overfishing should not be simply fined... captains and owners should be imprisoned and boats scrapped. Scrapped, not sold. When boats are overfishing, there are too many boats. Monitoring and enforcement, rigid and strict enforcement with unsustainable legal penalties for infraction are the key to preserving fisheries, not banning a remarkably clean operation. If every person who wanted a fish to eat, went out and caught it himself, the environmental price would be at least 10x greater. Think about that. And poor people would have little means to get their fish anyway. So how about lets stop the kneejerk rabble rousing and instead of being a bloodthirsty hyper politically correct leftist mob, do some research. REAL research, not just recycling hyped up sensationalist yellow journalism and calling it the truth.
