Mass of dead fish at Naka Island from wasteful practices of fishermen, not natural disaster

PHUKET: The president of the Phuket Fishery Association has urged local residents to not panic over a beach at Naka Island, off Phuket’s east coast, being covered with dead fish yesterday evening as if from a serious environmental incident.

 

Phuket Fishery Association President Somyot Wongboonyakul told The Phuket News today (Oct 25) that the mass of dead fish are the leftovers from local fishermen sorting out their catch of anchovies.

 

“Please don’t panic about it. This from local fishermen, not a natural disaster,” Mr Somyot said.

Maybe not a natural disaster but certainly a man made one !

[poohy]

A disaster brought to you by the same  ********s that will complain theres no fish to catch soon !

[justin case]

dynamite fishing ? just pollution from cleaning their engines in the sea ?

So the fishermen are throwing away the big ones....and keeping

the small Anchovies, and The president of the Phuket Fishery Association,

expects us to believe that ..

The sad thing is that the person who gave the reason actually expects everyone to believe him ????

Yeah I can really believe a Thai fisherman throwing all those fish back into the ocean !

Shameful practice but TIT and they have no shame.i wonder if this is an illegal fishing practice.

a tourist would get the book thrown at them for feeding one of these fish but a Thai can kill 1,000s of them for nothing more than some anchovies.

I suspect that if the fishermen were going for anchovies then they were using fine line nets that catch everything and this might be what can only be described as a byproduct.anchovies here cost a small fortune so I can see what might be going on.

please don't jump on me,this is only one theory that maybe possible.

Why didn't somebody start a fish meal factory and use these free samples to get started?  That could be an ongoing business.

'nuf sed.
