Indonesian fish collecting

Found thus on YouTube, and thought many here would find it interesting. A video of fish collecting in Indonesia. Kinda shows why may fish from there can be tough to keep

Very interesting. Our fish go thru hell before they get to our glass boxes.

And that video shows the "sustainable" method. I know from 1st hand experience, there are MANY other situations where nothing close to the "care" taken by these fisherman is a reason for high mortality.
There are many others out there too with better practices than shown. A good example are MAC certified collection stations and wholesalers. A very good excuse to spend an extra couple of bucks on a MAC certified fish.

I don't really see anything wrong being done here. Looks like hard work. Mac certified means nothing, there is no one overseeing collection and regulating it. It's pure marketing BS. Only benefit is for the wholesalers using it as a tool to sell fish. Bob Fenner himself remarked on this when Mac certified first became a thing.

What are your thoughts on the bags just sitting outside in waiting for the exporter? Aside from poor handling, It seems like they can at least float them in the ocean at no extra cost to sustain temp regulation...

FSM. Fish star millionaire.

Man those net traps can really take out a bunch of fish

That eel trick though...

No oxygen tank with nozzel and automatic bag stapler for the plastic bags? The holding facility is hopefully very close by.

If a few guys collected like that every week, i cant imagine there being any fish left after a few years.
