Fish dumping 'will ruin industry'

[Snoopy]

Most of the fish are dead by the time the net is emptied as the sudden rise from deep sea pressure as they are yanked up onto the boat means that they will have drowned on route. Yes it is perfectly possible to drown a fish. All that flapping on the deck is not a sign that the fish are capable of living if returned to the sea. Think death throes.

Think death throes.

I do every day.

As do many of us DS, mostly about other people though.

Oh I agree ~ it is a scandal ..... all I'm saying is that throwing them back is not the right option, no matter how quickly it is done.

Thank you Snoopy, in that case it's a bloody stupid waste of perfectly good fish.

Unless you are a seagull (getting the thread full circle)

Its an absolute scandal… yet more proof (if more were needed) that the EU can’t be trusted to tie its own shoelaces let alone manage something as complex as this…

Complex?? 

[Bar Wench]

Hardly complex. If fish is caught bring it back and sell it. What is complex about that?

Thank you for spelling it out on my behalf.

Managing fish stocks...  

[Snoopy]

Much as I hate to agree with Greenpeace ~ The answer is to designate large areas (several hundreds of square miles) of the North Sea as "National Parks" and not permit fishing in those areas. This creates safe havens for the fish stocks and can be easily monitored by satellite and enforced by the Royal Navy.

See that makes sense to me.

Rocket Science it ain't.
