End Commercial Bluefin in CA?
Anyone know more details about this effort? I'm for limiting commercial wild bluefin take, and not so hot on catch-and-farm either, but the details here are so scant:

Re: End Commercial Bluefin in CA?
I think whomever started the petition should do a little more research and see exactly how much fish is taken commercially in Ca. It's just a drop in the bucket compared to what they take in Mex.

There are so many inaccuracies in this request about commercial fishing. From the IATTC resolution that passed at this link http://www.iattc.org/PDFFiles2/Resol...-2015-2016.pdf (My comments are highlighted) Quote:
EPO = Eastern Pacific Mexico and USA. So the EPO only takes 16% of the catch of Pacific Bluefin Quote:
I do not have anything to refute that Pacific Bluefin tuna are at very low stock levels based on the available stock status reports. I have a hard time with individuals/organizations saying the USA is to blame and we need to stop fishing. As you can tell the USA commercial catch is 1/10 what Mexico gets and combined the US and Mexico are only 16% of what is harvested worldwide of this species. These stocks are internationally managed and in the regulations if we do not harvest our small 600 MT over the 2 year period our allotment is already given to Mexico, so the US stopping only harms our commercial fishing families and does nothing for the stock. That's my observation I can get off my soapbox now... |
