Hi all, is there any rules and code of ethic for fishing such rare fishes? Would like to know more about issues like:
1.) How many fish/pair to take per trip to consider as ethic rather than overfishing
2.) Duration between one trip to another trip considering the ecology needs time to recover
3.) Information sharing, a cost involve?
4.) Privacy of those who know the habitat as a matter of protection from harassment/disturbance from unethical poachers who wants to wipe out the whole localities by over fishing.
5.) What to collect apart from fishes and how, i.e. water ph, habitat photos, temperature measurement, overall setting of location like shades or openly under sun, condition of the locality(soon to be develop or safe for the time being)
6.) What to do with the collected fishes apart from breeding them
7.) Blacklisting collectors whose main purpose is to make fast money from caught fishand any relevant issues
Thanks a lot
I am extremely grateful to our friend C. Way that he opens this necessary discussion here. The ethics of excursions and fishing in threatened regions is a major topic nearly never discussed. We should contribute small pieces, nobody could treat the issue in general and comprehensively.
One very important point seems to me to be the difference between a private excursion for scientific reasons or the love of nature, its plants and animals, and excursions for commercial reasons. I think we should concentrate on the first. It does normally exclude heavy impacts on the habitats, but this could be a first statement of conduct we could possibly all agree with.
