Polite Notice

This is a sea angling forum for the debate of all angling related topics, including: shore fishing, boat and kayak fishing. Here you will find pictures of anglers going sea fishing and catching fish. You will find angling related debate. Sometimes anglers will retain fish for the table. Whilst we respect the personnal choice of anglers to follow catch and release practices, this is not a conservation forum and devout conservationists unable to accept anglers sensibly retaining fish should seek out alternative forums. Anyone preaching catch and release or criticising other peoples reports will have their posts removed.

ICES Advise No Take For Cod Again

SCIENTISTS from the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) have rung the alarm bell for many European fish stocks on World Ocean Day, according to conservation organisation WWF.

According to the report that ICES released today, fishing pressure must be decreased on cod, whiting, herring, plaice, redfish and Baltic salmon stocks in European waters next year, in order to rebuild these declining populations.

Given continued low levels of stocks, the scientists recommend no direct fishing on cod in the North Sea, in the Eastern Baltic Sea and the Kattegat.

I dont know alot about fishing Methods But "pair trawling" I hear alot. Is that 2 boats towing a net between them? and Isnt that type of thing doing the most damage to fish stocks?
If it is why dont they just ban that and other fishing practices that do large scale damage ?
I think the taking of sandeel for their oil should be banned too? I think thats discusting.
(apparently its used to fire powerstations)
