At sea on the Brighton inshore netter Delta Star Brighton skipper/owner Steve Eason recently started trammel-netting off the Sussex coast with the inshore boat Delta Star R 31, reports David Linkie. Since being bought from Ramsgate, the vessel has been extensively rebuilt by local boatbuilder Max Munck to Steve Eason’s requirements. Large-scale modernisation work included fitting new GRP deck beams, a Nidaplast deck, bulkheads, wheelhouse and shelterdeck. Delta Star replaces Steve Eason’s previous static- gear boat, the Napier Aquastar 29 Libby Lou SM 11, which he purchased in 2006.

The meeting was chaired by Groundfish Oversight Committee Chair Mr. Frank Blount, assisted by Council staff Tom Nies. Council members Mr. George LaPointe, Mr. Lew Flagg, Mr. John Williamson, Mr. Bud Fernandes, Mr. Erik Anderson, and Mr. Jim Odlin were also present. There were about two hundred people in attendance, sixty who signed the attendance sheet. After introductions, Council staff provided an overview of the amendment documents (including the public hearing document and the measures matrix) and described the comment process and future actions. The public then asked questions to clarify the issues before providing comments. The questions asked, with staff responses, were: Ms. Maggie Raymond, Associated Fishermen of Maine (AFM), South Berwick ME: Here with me today are Mr. David Frulla, legal counsel to AFM and several others from AFM. During the comment period I will let you hear from members of AFM that you don't usually hear from. I have a number of questions about the document and the analysis. The document includes as the No Action alternative the Amendment 8 biomass targets. However that is not listed in the public hearing document. Is that indeed an optio n.

  • Electric Pulse Fishing

This was an early beam trawl with a wooden beam, and consisted of a net 6 m (18 ft) long and 3 m (10 ft) wide. • “of so small a mesh, no manner of fish, however small, entering within it can pass out and is compelled to remain therein and be taken...by means of which instrument the fishermen aforesaid take so great abundance of small fish aforesaid, that they know not what to do with them, but feed and fatten the pigs with them, to the great damage of the whole commons of the kingdom, and the destruction of the fisheries in like places, for which they pray remedy” • Thus, already back in the Middle Ages, basic arguments about three of the most sensitive current issues surrounding trawling - the effect of trawling on the wider environment, the use of small mesh size, and of industrial fishing for animal feed - were already being raised • Benthic Impacts • Changes in benthic communities • By Catch • Discard rate • Carbon footprint • Fuel use per kg landed fish: 2.13 euro • Fuel cost as percentage of revenues; 52% • Fuel use per day at sea: 7,311 L • Net Profit 2013: beamtrawl -1.4 mln.

  • Electric 'Pulse' Fishing: Why It Should Be Banned January 2018 Electric 'Pulse' Fishing: Why It Should Be Banned | January 2018 2
    working for the oceans ELECTRIC 'PULSE' FISHING: WHY IT SHOULD BE BANNED JANUARY 2018 ELECTRIC 'PULSE' FISHING: WHY IT SHOULD BE BANNED | JANUARY 2018 2 ELECTRIC 'PULSE' FISHING: WHY IT SHOULD BE BANNED Europe needs to decide on a 'Frankenstein' case, a problem we have entirely crea- ted for ourselves: electric 'pulse' fishing'. Electric fishing, which is forbidden in most fishing nations in the World, including China, was also banned in Europe until the European Commission and Council, at the end of 2006, made an ille- gitimate decision to authorize the use of electric current to catch fish and grant unjustified exemptions. This ruling went against scientific advice, only to satisfy the pressure exerted by a private interest group: the Dutch industrial beam trawl fleet. The use of electricity in the wild has serious environmental and socio-eco- nomic consequences: not only is the seabed impacted by huge industrial nets, but all marine life is now electrocuted. Europe needs to fix the problems it has created. The survival of the small- scale fishing sector requires that Europe definitively bans this destructive fishing technique. Electric 'pulse' fishing is a technological trick which halves fuel consumption, so that a fleet of otherwise cash-strapped Undoubtedly, 'regular' beam fishing units can be kept in operation. Under the guise of "ex- trawls are devastating and al- perimental fishing" a whole fleet in the Netherlands has been converted to a fishing method that is banned in Europe (and ternatives must be sought. But elsewhere in the world). Several million euros of public money solutions should not threa- have been allocated to equipping Dutch vessels with electric 'pulse' trawls, with the complicity of the public authorities.

Abstract Pulse fishing may be a global optimal strategy in multicohort fisheries. In this article we compare the pulse fishing solutions obtained by using global numerical methods with the analytical stationary optimal solution. This allows us to quantify the potential benefits associated with the use of periodic fishing in the Northern Stock of hake. Results show that: first, management plans based exclusively on traditional reference targets as Fmsy may drive fishery economic results far from the optimal; second, global optimal solutions would imply, in a cyclical manner, the closure of the fishery for some periods and third, second best stationary policies with stable employment only reduce optimal present value of discounted profit in a 2%. Key words: optimal fisheries, management optimization in age-structured models, pulse fishing 1. Introduction Since Beverton and Holt (1957) target reference points have been one of the main tools used by fishery managers to make decisions about future catch options.
