How Seafood is Caught: Purse Seining

Purse seining establishes a large wall of netting to encircle schools of fish. Fishermen pull the bottom of the netting closed-like a drawstring purse-to herd fish into the center. This method is used to catch schooling fish, such as sardines, or species that gather to spawn, such as squid. There are several types of purse seines and, depending on which is used, some can catch other animals (such as when tuna seines are intentionally set on schools of dolphins).

Conservation and food production MUST be working hand-in-hand... By lowering food production when the human population is growing might kill the precious food source and possibly reducing the livelihood of the fishermen, while unsustainable catch might bring us a grim future for lack of ecological stability... A very tricky issue, worth of a very serious discussion between scientist, fishermen, inventors, and conservationist to bridge the gap...

The human population is going to Plateau soon, so it doesn’t really matter about the current food production

Just because a smaller fish or non targeted species is caught doesnt mean they are killed. We return all small and/or unsellable animals back to the water. Fishermen care as much if not more for the environment and understand it more than half environmentalists.

[@aloksocon3360]

by the time these are returned back they are dead!! so there is literally no difference between returning them dead or using them for something else

Around 90% of bi-caught sharks die soon after being caught whether released or not

Hail yeah! You get to catch a shark.

This method kills the smaller fish that cannot yet reproduce it kills the fishery
