Northeast Fisheries Science Center say’s key fishing area for Atlantic cod in dire shape
New data from the
says research boats caught less of the fish this past spring than in all but one spring season dating back to 1968. A report from the centre, given to The Associated Press on Tuesday, states that the boats caught about 3.3 pounds of cod each time the net went in and out of the water last spring, compared to more than three times that amount two years earlier. “Is that coming as a surprise from anybody who knows what the water temperature is out there? No, it shouldn’t be,” said David Goethel, a New Hampshire-based fisherman. “These fish are declining because of climate change.” Read the rest here 22:13
More bad science coming from the green side ?Noaa has given commercial boats, have little codfish quota .My codfish quota for this year is 3500 lbs. which was once 40,000 lbs. So once ,I catch my 3500 lbs. of codfish quota ,I have to stop fishing because I have no codfish quota left ,but I can buy codfish for $5.00 a lb., from green fishermen , who was given half of my quota in the PAST BY BIG GREEN AND NOAA !!
So ,fishermen are avoiding catching codfish and fishing in their habitat areas,so they can fish for other spies ., to survive ?
Probably ,last low codfish landings was when fishermen were allowed 20 lbs of codfish a day . LOTS OF COD BEING CAUGHT , BUT NOT BEING LANDED , OUT OF SIGHT ,OUT OF MIND, WHAT A WASTE!!!!
