FISHERMEN FROM IMERETINSKY BAY Part4 About fish

  Unfortunately not all caught fish will be eaten. Sea foxes often come across nets and die. Because the meat of fox looks like a shark in view of the physiological characteristics, it is not tasty to cook them. Therefore, unlike plaice, the fox is difficult to sell. Happens, fishermen get sea fox hundreds of kilograms and then thrown away.

  If a large quantity of anchovy is caught, it is not easy to sell on the market. At best, fishermen can freeze fish, but in the end they will give it away if they do not throw it out. To tell the truth, I've seen a lot of anchovy, it's easy to recognize it as a huge dark spot in the sea. Dolphins, birds and all predatory fish feed on anchovy - it is fodder fish.

  In the fishing nets not only commercial fish but also Red Book or simply forbidden catching rare species and fisherman try to take everything that the sea gives him is psychology. I've been involved in the debate about whether to release rare fish. In truth, I still do not have a clear opinion on this matter. Of course, if a person tries to survive, that is, simply speaking, he is hungry, he needs that fish, he caught it. But another question, if he does not become such a fish and sells for 2000 rubles, for example, a rooster fish. In that part of the sea in question, this fish is a rare species and certainly avarice is not a reason to put under the influence the extermination of an entire species.
