Dont really want to prolong this topic to much more chaps, but have just finished reading the latest " Blue Water " mag. Would have to be my pick of all the fishing rags on the market at the moment. Always seems to have a lot of good info in each issue.
 
Now to the topic. In the mag it has a special feature about Blue F T. It talks of the decline of these gaints back some 40 odd years ago. Charter fleets all left due to the decline in fish numbers. Suddenly they are back and in big numbers which the experts do not seem to be able to explain. Any way am not going to go on to much about it but if you can read the different articals in the mag. May be just may be this is what the YFT are going through at the present.
 
Food for thought!!!

This charity does a good job and has a huge job with the USA markets...east and west have different rules of capture, quota and market.

The only loss there (mianlanda0 is to the company that bought the fish, still quoterd, no law broken.
 
But overseas vessels targeting bycatch ie inshore fish and paying the deemed value because they can take it back to there own markets, proccessed onboard with cheap labour, is in my mind a breach of the current quota laws.
So they are delibirate in there intentions to fish well above the quoted amount allowed.
 
Anyway this cam from a nz trawler fisherman, I talked to at a party.

43 yrs respect mate . and no i would be right beside you with a sharpened gaff . just dont like it when obviously unsustainable fishing methods are used to destroy fisherys .ive seen 100s of tons of snapper buried with dirt because the filleters could not keep up and the fishermen were out pair trawling another lot to bring in get alittle emotive when there is a glimmer of defence for them . enjoy your tuna and veno you certainly ernt it and decerve it!! ]]> Thu, 12 Jan 2012 18:25:39 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=74320&PID=1060774&title=lucky-yellowfin#1060774 <![CDATA[Lucky Yellowfin : Not sure where you are coming...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=74320&PID=1060746&title=lucky-yellowfin#1060746 Author: Crazy Horse

Not sure where you are coming from Mainlanda. At no time did I blame the govt. They have no controll as to what happens outside the 200 mile line.Its not the com guys fault either its all the loopy ****s who eat the stuff. i think I started this whole thing when I said you can not blame the com guys because that is there job and they are not breaking any laws in doing it and that they have every right to fish as they please. Maybe you are also one of those loopies that said I should not of landed that blue fin tuna we got of W/P last year.

As for trying to give me a lecture about farming get a life. I was one for 43
 years.
I am out of here. Going to have a bit of smoked BFT and a glass of wine or two

BBF - 

The difference is that tuna school in large dense and easily seined shoals on or near the surface with obvious migratory habits.

Marlin are a by-catch for seiners or a target for surface liners and more enigmatic by nature.

Granted the Billfish Memorandum of Understanding was a good thing which if nothing else increased awareness about the plight of pelagic fauna but I'm not sure you can compare the successes of that program to the tunas.....different kettle of herring as it were.

Whilst the NZSFC is a good start with a mandate base of 'only' slightly more than 30K but doesn't represent enough 'fire power' in my opinion.....I'm looking forward to what Legasea has to say once launched but I still think their campaign still won't have the 'teeth' to make in roads to what is an increasing global issue....the decimation of tuna biomass!

just my thinks mate.....

I don't think the NZ Govt could do much about the decline in tuna stocks, even if they wanted to.
 
I think marlin was a lot easier to manage as it wasnt as big a commercial target as tuna. I may be wrong but I think there is a hell of a lot more fishing effort that goes into catching BFT/YFT than marlin. The Jap and American markets alone for tuna are monstrous. I don't know of any markets where marlin is sought after or worth as much as tuna.
 
Once the tuna are gone though then marlin will be the enxt big thing as the broadies will in all likelihood be decimated so it's only marlin left with eating qualities anything liek a tuna.
