Fly-shooter to focus on squid, mullet, and gurnard

March 11, 2022 International

A new Belgian fly-shooter built by Padmos Stellendam has been delivered to Zeebrugge-based trawler company Nele. This is the first new seine netter to join the Belgian fishing fleet. Fishing company Nele placed the order for the new F/V Aravis Z-99 in August 2020, and the previous vessel of the same name, which was something of a pioneer as one of the first of a long series of fly-shooters converted from former trawlers, had been sold to Marissa Fisheries in Suriname more than a year previously.

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. When it comes to the oceans it seems as if it’s about all that the industry connected mega-foundations that support the anti-fishing ENGOs with hundreds of millions of dollars a year in “donations” are interested in controlling.
