  • Danny Green is one of the few remaining trap fishers still operating out of Coffs Harbour. Costs and regulations have forced thousands of professional fishers out of the industry but for Danny the thrill of the catch is a childhood dream come true.

    In my opinion this is some of the most respectable commercial fishing you can do. You are not killing your bycatch, you are not killing undersized fish. You are able to bring everything up alive and healthy sort through it and return what is to small or unwanted back to the ocean unharmed. In no way should this be comparable to people that long line or net fish because of the high kill rates that come with those methods.

      Did you see how long it took to measure them? Fish don’t breathe air

    • @BradGryphonn
      @BradGryphonn Před 2 lety +1

      The only real issue with any 'deep' fishing is the swim bladder issue. Fish brought from depths quickly don't get time to adjust their swim bladder and in most cases, even if the fish is thrown back, it will still die. Live coral trout fisherman carry a bladder punch that is used to release air from the fish immediately after being caught, saving them from certain death.

      @@BradGryphonn They make a tool that is basically a big hypodermic needle it'll that is used to do something called venting a fish. Where you simply poke a hole in it release the air from the swim bladder and it's able to swim down no problem and has a high survival rate. You can order this tool online for a few dollars.

      @CRZ38L Před 2 lety +1

      The depths aren't actually that deep compared to other types of deep sea fishing, and Sanpper don't suffer from barotrauma so the released fish should be fine, providing they don't get preyed upon on the way back down.

      Snapper and most fish can survive out of water for several minutes before their condition deteriorates. This does no harm to them and once they return to the water they swim off just as healthy as before.

      @K Andreis your 100% right. trapping is the most sustainable way to catch fish as the traps are fabricated in a way where only the desired sized fish gets trapped. It’s the things like weighted bottom trawling that is emptying the oceans let alone destroying the sea-bed.

We might have to start farming alot more fish species in the future. I've built aquiponics systems up for growing Barra and vegetables and fruits at the same time. But I still love diving. Even just for exploring and relaxing.👍
