Stone crabs season turns sour after a super start – Poor harvest called lousy luck, nothing more

May 15, 2013 Gulf of Mexico, South Atlantic

When commercial fisherman Shane Dooley of Pine Island pulled his first stone crab trap of the season on Oct. 15, he laughed out loud. It was loaded with crabs. “We want ’em all like that one, baby,” he said. Florida’s stone crab season ends today, and it didn’t fulfill its first-day potential: Fishermen got a few weeks of good landings, but then the crabbing died. continued

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.
