🦈 During our tour at the local fish market, we saw one of the species of sharks that can be found locally. A piece of paper with the name "Murruna" was placed next to it. ~ 🎣According to the European Commission, the commercial designation "Murruna" refers to the Bluntnose sixgill shark. This shark is normally consumed by locals, while it's not considered of value in other countries. ~ 🌊 The Bluntnose sixgill shark, Hexanchus griseus, is a deep water shark that can be found between 200 and 1100 meters of depth. It can be fished with industrial and artisanal demersal trawling, gillnets, longlines, and more. ~ 🔻It is globally assessed as Near Threatened according to the IUCN Redlist. ~ ➡️ Would you like to know more about sharks and how to recognize them? Join me for my next fish market private tour. Follow me to be updated on the next dates. ~ 📸@scuba_cassie ~ #adrishark #helpsavesharks #fishmarket #sharkmeat #malta

***Octopus Maya (Spanish: Pulpo Maya o Rojo) - Yucatán, Mexico – Part of Fishery Improvement Project (FIP) The Maya octopus season is from August to November.

Naturally Sustainable: fishing practices support reproduction and protect the species. - Wild caught. No Moisture Additives of Preservatives. - Location: FAO 31 (Western Central Atlantic) - Method of Capture : Fishing drifting rod with lines containing bait, no hook, this method is known locally as gareteo. - Fleets: Small-scale and medium-scale fleets with octopus permits fishing and landing in the State of Yucatan, Mexico.  - Octopus Maya has a similar tender texture and taste as lobster.

For over 15 years, LINI has dedicated to the management of Indonesia's marine aquarium fish trade. This year marks a significant milestone with the launch of the IndoReefFish project, led by LINI , the Shedd Aquarium, the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA), the Coral Reef Aquarium Fisheries Campaign (CRAFC) – USA, and Rare Indonesia. This initiative demonstrates the sector's economic potential, which makes it an essential resource for economic stability since it not only supports countless traders along the value chain but also provides a living for small-scale fishermen and their families. Nonetheless, there are significant obstacles facing the marine aquarium fish trade. A significant issue is the lack of comprehensive data and information about the quantity and species composition of fish harvested, fishing grounds, and the number of fishers who depend on this fishery. Furthermore, certain regions are still employ fishing methods that are harmful to the environment and weaken coral reef ecosystems. High-value target species have seen a drop in population due to overfishing and the loss of coral reefs, which are vital habitats for marine aquarium fish. This effort intends to create a new management paradigm for Indonesia's marine aquarium fisheries, focusing on an Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management (EAFM) that stresses ecological sustainability, human welfare, and sustainable development.

POLAND The small-scale fishery in the Szczecin lagoon represents a range of opinions about fishing in the lagoon and its future. The approximately 60 fishers are based in the towns around the lagoon, where they target perch, eel, pike perch, roach, and bream. The gears used for this fishery are fixed, either trammel nets or fyke nets—trawlers, which used to operate a few years ago, were decommissioned. The fishers are organised into associations, cooperatives, and/or producer organisations, all of which have slightly different though sometimes overlapping functions. But some of the fishers remain independent for reasons of geography rather than ideology. They are based far from the towns where the organisations have their ports and landing sites. However, most fishers face the same challenges. Declining catches, low prices for their products, predation from cormorants, and above all, red tape that gets worse all the time. Even though many fishers want to preserve their profession, the odds they face are daunting. #eurofishmagazine #fisheries #poland
