Tuna (albacore tuna, bigeye tuna, long-tailed tuna, southern bluefin tuna, yellowfin tuna) In New South Wales, the Department of Primary Industries allows fishermen to keep a twilight above 70 centimetres – legally, that`s fine, but not socially. I remember photographing a fish over 80 cm tall that was about to be released and was shouted by a smug passerby: “You`d better release this partner”. I ignored the old friend, poor wimp seemed a bit grumpy and probably didn`t have the delivery that should have accompanied any sincere concern. Features – The yellowfin sea bream has a silvery to olive-green body with yellowish pectorals, ventrals, and fins. They are opportunistic eaters with their diet, including small crabs, shrimp, mollusks, pees, and small fish. A 40-centimeter-tall yellowfin sea bream is a retired of the species, but our current state regulations allow you to take 20 — an entire sea bream nursing home in your esky. Knocking over a few big, throbbing sea bream seems more socially acceptable than taking one big old flat head. The same goes for snapper and jewies, where success is measured in centimetres and kilograms and not in numbers released. Distribution – Yellowfin seabream is found along the coast of New South Wales as well as Queensland and Victoria.
Bremen inhabits estuaries up to the brackish water boundary (the transition from salt water to freshwater) and coastal rocky reef habitats near maritime beaches and rocky headlands. The moral and ethical advice of a high-level panel or fisheries commentators can produce wonderful results and help guide legislative reform. However, this must be tempered by what is allowed by law, as internet lynching mobs and angry fanatics (who might have their hearts in the right place) don`t always pay attention to the rights of licensed fishermen. I remember seeing a guy get verbally abused by another fisherman at my local ramp because he had a pocket limit with fish. On the one hand, I could understand the frustration of the angry fisherman, but I hated the aggression towards someone who was completely within his legal right. Confusing species – Black bream (Acanthopagrus butcheri) is found in waters from New South Wales to Myall Lakes, but is more common in Victoria and the south of the state. The yellowfin seabream has a deeper body and higher snout than the black sea bream and has yellow ventral fins. Tarwhines have rounded, convex heads and a golden spot on each scale, giving the fish a series of longitudinal stripes. The Tarwhine are found along the coast of New South Wales. Cockles, mussels (pee only as bait – do not exceed 50 m of tide).
I won`t even consider the idea of a delicious striped or black marlin coming home at the table; Touch one of these suction cups and the Grim Reaper will knock on your door. Top predators appear to be subjectively protected, with varying stigma associated with eating a meal at home. A marlin lying on deck is a disgrace, a wide beak is likely to be chopped at every opportunity. The same goes for a pile of tuna carcasses, commonly known as sashimi paradise, without anyone batting an eyelid. Where do you draw the line? Are there examples of social contempt that make your blood boil, or do you think there are species that should be a little more protected? Conversely, should there be a little more leniency for some species?
