bendito Dios mas fue los peses muertos que lo que pescaron hay padre. Como avia tanta hente ayudando pence sacarian cientos de peses bastante grandes .
+acerimmeh I live in Kerala and i can tell you that the fishermen are not throwing the fish away because they are dead. those fish that are emptied back are not edible, they taste bitter and can give you food poisoning. I myself have helped fishermen haul nets and i have seen them pick those things and throwing them away.Dead or not these fishermen don't waste anything if they are edible.. you can see when the nets are coming out of the water nothing is slipping out of them, the nets are fine enough to catch anchovies which are smaller than the fish that are thrown away. Actually small scale fishing like this is not what is depleting the marine resources, it is the large deep sea trawlers which do that by destroying spawn points.
i am from kerala, especially near the coastal area, but i can not accept this method. dont waste this much quantity even if other fishes can be eaten these dead fishes, but if they let it alive these species will increase and the quantity would be maintained for future.now the availability of the fishes in kerala is very poor. some fishes such as sardine, shrimps etc.. are importing from other states and countries.recently sardines importing from oman which is stale.
Wasteful and unproductive ,just changing the mesh size would limit the by-catch . Some of the most destructive and unnecessary fishing in India is the killing of whale sharks to be rendered down into oil for a few bucks per whale shark in profit . Eco tourism would ensure both shark and fishermen prosper .
They keep only anchovies and throw other dead fish back. I know these fish don't grow any larger. They should have kept them and feed their chickens instead.
This is a very primitive method that is least productive. The number of fishermen and the amount of labor involved in catching a tiny amount of fish justifies only one thing - Indian bureaucrats and upper class want these poor illiterate fellow countrymen to continue live such marginal and primitive life. What a shame!
its a pathetic catch. I have been there many times over the years and there are very few fish anywhere in India, its a ecosystem disaster zone. Is it not time to take about human population control??? Sorry lefties
