So that's your approach to reducing by-catch. You know those trawling nets don't really help, there are heaps of studies pointing this out. That's why the state of Oregon has to get involved and send those liberals on your boat. Try not to kill any more dolphins.
I have been fishing sense 1978 and have never killed a dolphin. I don't even know anybody that has killed one. You must be thinking of the foreign gill net fleet or super seiners for tuna? Actually its the Feds that have the observers.
Did my diploma kick you in the by-catch?
but didn't you just ask him 'what he used'? what does that have to do with poaching? or is it over my head?
AC is in over his head, yours is just fine and dandy .but didn't you just ask him 'what he used'? what does that have to do with poaching? or is it over my head?
different waters different methods.
"The superficial distinctions of Fascism, Bolshevism, Hitlerism, are the concern of journalists and publicists; the serious student sees in them only one root-idea of a complete conversion of social power into State power...I wonder how many men in America would know that Communism, New Deal Progressivism, Fascism, Nazism, are merely so-many trade-names for Collectivist Statism, like the trade names for toothpastes which are all exactly alike except for the flavoring."
What a mouth breathing republican fucktard.
I learned that te only reason you make an effort to reduce by-catch is that the gov't forces you to do so.
Repudiated.
I thought you were going to stop while you still had some dignity . The by catch reduction effort was not forced by government. It was voluntary research that the fisherman had been working on for years before the state got involved. The Oregon fisherman are pretty creative when it comes to figuring stuff out that improves catch rates and by catch reduction all on there own. The state got involved in working with fisherman after the fact of a lot of improvements had already been made by fisherman. It wasn't until the state got some grant money and used that money to officially record the research and improve on the effort from fisherman.
By all means, say it was because it's profitable to do so. How fucking dumb do you think people are?
You keep stepping on your dick from lack of knowing what you are talking about. When the fisherman figured out how to excluded by catch it opened up areas that you couldn't fish because of to much by catch. And for that reason it became more profitable for all the shrimpers because all of the fishing grounds could be worked with out by catch problems any more.
Wow, considering you say you have been a fisherman so long, I'm beginning to think you're just lying. By-catch isn't an obstacle to profit, never has been. They can just toss the fish they don't want overboard, but so many species are profitable to catch that this rarely happens. What actually happens is that other boats come along and buy it. By-catch is only a problem because the gov't gets in your way. Try not to go in circles ya senile old man. If fishermen made an effort to reduce by-catch before the gov't came along, gov't wouldn't be interfering.
So here you are, on a Saturday night, with nothing better to do that write me a love letter about how much you respect my intelligence, which must be an immense amount of respect, since you decided to come out of left field to bring it up by interrupting such that attention is drawn toward yourself. I'm touched, truly. You must really want to take in a whiff of my ass.
You are very uninformed about pretty much everything about what goes on off the Oregon coast. What you said that is in bold letters tells me you are an idiot. Have a good day.
Deciphering...
When you are using research and examples of what you think I do off the Oregon coast, and it ends up being other fisheries from around the world like super seiner tuna boats that catch dolphins in the south pacific or draggers that catch bottom fish that have by catch that is big enough for some kind of market. It make no sense to debate the subject matter any further .
