Who Catches The Blue Fin For Japan..

[Guest danielinbyron]

Trying to work this out...If Japan has been taking nearly double its quota of blue fin ,,, ?1. where from, Australian waters ? Australian fisheries? I would imagine it couldn't be from Australian fishers or we'd have had better control of the figures .. Japan still refuses to have inspectors on there commercial fleets so what will stop them from doing it again.??

I don't agree with it but if it's not illegal & doesn't contravene international law then there is bugger all we can do about it.

Very smart people the Japanese.

Cheers,

Grant.

So , are they taking the tuna stock from outside our waters , and the agreement {quota}was reached {and breached } as an attempt at international co-operation toward conservation of the blue fin..???

Hey guys,

I was fishing with a good old friend of mine at the banks Jervis Bay, we tagged a released some kings on the weekend.

He told me that he wont tag yellow fin and marlin because he heard that the fisheries sold the tag and release information to the Japs for 6 million dollars.

i wonder if creating marine parks and catch and release zones is a reasonable task while our waters are getting abused by international commercial fishing boats... just a thought..
