They put a 1,005-pound bluefin tuna in the Fish Bucket! – That’s a very big fish!

January 16, 2015 Mid Atlantic

It’s a big fish story to tell the grandkids. Anglers are reveling in a 1,005-pound blue fin tuna that was brought in Tuesday by the Morehead City boat Fish Bucket, skippered by Capt. Herb Sheades with mate Jonathan Anderson. The fish was 116 inches long and one of the longest ever to be brought back to the docks in Carteret County. The Fish Bucket is one of several commercial fishing boats that are part of the fleet trying to hook the giant tuna as a supplement to their winter income. Read the rest here 19:22

The New England groundfish debacle (Part III): who or what is at fault? Nils E. Stolpe/FishNet

It took me a while to decide how to most accurately describe the situation that has been visited upon the New England fishing communities that are and since colonial times have been dependent on the groundfish fisheries.

NILS STOLPE: The New England groundfish debacle (Part IV): Is cutting back harvest really the answer?

While it’s a fact that’s hardly ever acknowledged, the assumption in fisheries management is that if the population of a stock of fish isn’t at some arbitrary level, it’s because of too much fishing. Hence the term “overfished.” Hence the mandated knee jerk reaction of the fisheries managers to not enough fish; cut back on fishing. What of other factors? They don’t count. It’s all about fishing, because fishing is all that the managers can control; it’s their Maslow’s Hammer.
