This is in the best interest of the fishers, as it ensures that stocks are allowed to be replenished and therefore guarantee the sustainability of the industry. I am not convinced that the Government is fully abreast of the size of the fishing industry, in terms of number of fishers, catch volume and quality. With the decline of our fishing stocks, we must look at the establishment ofa ratio between fishing to non-fishing areas. Illegal fishing is a major threat to this industry, and part...

In the minds of many, tuna is the most prized fish in all the world. There s not just one tuna; it actually can come from several species of fish, including yellowfin, albacore, skipjack, bigeye, bonito and bluefin. In Japan, buyers have paid as much as $200,000 for a single large bluefin tuna, one of the choicest varieties, that was hooked off the coast of that country. In Japan, the acceptable tuna color palette ranges from beet red for lean bluefin tuna to clear, bright-red ahi to...

Many of the concerns during yesterday's public testimony came from shrimp fishing groups, who could face partial season closures to curtail the accidental catch of young snapper in their nets. But many seem resigned to the reality that federal fisheries regulators are expected today to approve 80% cuts in fishing quotas and other measures to help revive the Gulf's ailing snapper population. To rejuvenate the red snapper, a species near total collapse from decades of overfishing, regulators...

A fisheries biologist who has helped thousands of Kansans develop an appreciation for fishing is heading for retirement. A lot of those kids are not only still out there fishing, they're also passing a love of fishing on to other kids. Many who've watched McCloskey in action say it's his demeanor, even more than his knowledge of fishing, that's led to such success. It's been exhausting but it's important to get more kids fishing. McCloskey plans on staying in the Wichita area during...

In terms of fishing, there's a little something for everyone regardless of the time of the year. So what's best during the early summer period since commercial red snapper fishing has been reduced to two fish per person? In the mix will be blacktip, bulls, spinners and thrasher sharks feeding behind working shrimp boats in between Ship Island and the north end of Chandeleur. This fishing, as exciting as it can be, requires heavy tackle, strong backs for fighting and brute strength because...

There are other game fish to be caught, such as vermilion snapper, grouper and trigger fish, and later in the season, kingfish, amberjack, ling and dolphin fish. The company charges $100 a day per angler for a charter fishing trip, and anglers are sometimes hesitant to pony up that much money for so little reward, she said. With the changes, fish numbers should begin going up by 2009, and by 2013, allowable catches could be raised and the season lengthened again, he said. The short-term...
