But it may be that Mr. Castaing-Taylor and Ms. Paravel's intention was to capture what it is like to be a fish, hauled up from the sea floor in a huge, crowded net and flung onto the deck, where men in rain gear tramp around with buckets and knives.
When you catch a fish, you haul it in by hand.
More recently, however, "catch shares" have caught on, in which fishermen own a portion of the overall fish haul each year and have incentives to manage the fisheries.
Fishing that amounts to less than 1 percent of Europe's total fish haul is allowed to cause irreparable damage to the diversity of the deep seas.
In 2011, vessels from eight E.U. countries landed 15,000 metric tons of four species of marketable deep-sea fish, which represents only 0.4 percent of Europe's fish haul.
Every year in the United States alone, more than a million tons of bycatch is discarded; in relative terms, this amounts to more than twenty per cent of all the fish hauled out of American waters.
Virtually all of the fish hauled out of the ocean by Chinese vessels are put to economic use, first for human consumption, and then for feeds and other purposes.
Legal tries to buy fish hauled on board the boats no more than two days before landing, and there is no chance to inspect them once the auction has begun.
I have a job on a fishing boat, hauling nets.
The aim of the acoustic decoy was to use fishing vessel sounds to attract whales to an area away from the true fishing haul in order to reduce interactions between commercial fishing vessels and whales.
A significant relationship was found between the number of whales present at the true fishing haul and the distance of the haul from the decoy (1 14 km range), with the decoy being most effective at ranges greater than 9 km (t = −2.06, df = 12, p = 0.04).
