Interesting to see Mako Shark fillets in the local seafood counter today - note the price compared to Pink Ling and King Morwong 🤔

Australian Wooden Boat Festival 2025 in Hobart, Tasmania. A great place to: watch 🦞 lobster pots being made by hand, try under-rated seafood and see gorgeous Huon pine boats

Lucky enough to watch southern eagle rays (Myliobatis tenuicaudatus) in very shallow waters throughout the summer. Thankfully it’s a shark/ray nursery area.

It’s always interesting to hear how other jurisdictions manage their fisheries.
Here are some new rules for scallops down-under Down Under (ie Tassie) 🇦🇺

The North Pacific Seastar (Asterias amurensis) is an invasive pest in SE Australia. Primary mgmt is ad-hoc community clean ups. Some baited traps have been trialled. Has anyone found a viable use for this species? Any innovative trap design you’d like to share? 🌊⭐️

simple and effective initiative for recreational fishers to support #fisheries science on 5 fish species here in #Tasmania 🐟🎣

SAROA - the book with its own acronym sine 1994. Happy to have inscribed copies that I used daily when I was a student of JS. I still reference it 20 years later 🦈📕📗🇦🇺

Interesting recreational #fisheries stats for 🦞 on Tasmania’s east coast. Opened 7th Dec, 3374 🦞 kept in 2 days. Tas is an interesting fishery as they can be taken by pot/hand (including scuba, hookah), there is a species-specific license, minimum size limit and both reporting/marking requirements.

This week FishListic is in Palau. The Palau National Marine Sanctuary (PNMS) is the world’s most ambitious #conservation initiative, including the #shark sanctuary. Here is a manta at the German Channel today.

Happy World #Fisheries Day 🐟🎣🍣
Let’s acknowledge & celebrate those who supply #sustainable & responsibly caught #seafood. When buying seafood, we recommend looking for the blue #MSC (wildcaught) or green #ASC (farmed) eco-labels. We also support & encourage those fisheries in improvement programs 👏

FishListic (Peter) is in Tonga this wk for tuna; instead of sharing a photo of a meeting room, here is a video of an artisanal fish fence being harvested
