"The RIS is Flawed "

RE:- Spotted Mackerel

The commercial harvest ( you have to sow to harvest ? ), over the last 2 years was, on average, was 330 - 360 tonne per year, ( Why do they not know exactly ? )

There are 140 commercial licences for Mackerel, of which 40 target Mackerel. The new quota is to be 150 tonne, divide that by the 40 and you get an average of 3.75 tonne per licence / pro.

Now allow 90 days per year for catching the fish ( this is generous ), and take into account that the first 100 kilo's weighed in will be " not included in the quota ", as unrecorded. 90 days x 100 kilo's = 9000kg's or 9 tonne, plus the 3.75 they are allowed in the quota.

9 tonne plus the 3.75 x 40 pro's equals.....510 tonne. !!!!!!

This RIS is a joke. In real terms the Pro's are winning more stocks.

There is only one way to stop or slow down the slaughter of Spotted Mackerel, and that is to STOP RING NETTING !!!, maybe allow line fishing for Mackerel only. At the very least, a firm 150 tonne quota must be in place. No More !!
