of habitat in their wake, they're catching cod and yellow tail as a by-catch of haddock . They cannot only target haddock until relatively recently. And let me just explain.
When the trawl-- this is the trawl, the net-- when it's being dragged along the sea floor, the reaction, the biological reaction, for haddock will dive down and haddock will dive up and be caught.
When the trawl-- this is the trawl, the net-- when it's being dragged along the sea floor, the reaction, the biological reaction, for haddock Whereas the haddock , they go up and they get into what we call the cod end, the part of the net where
Reasonable question you're asking. And this is US haddock , which was really, astoundingly mismanaged by the United States, punished badly.
You shouldn't have to do that homework. And if you can't catch haddock there, I'm terribly sorry.
And it's mind blowing. You don't know what a haddock or a cod looks like.
We still have a surplus on Georges Bank of haddock , but Georges Bank cod and yellow tail flounder are overfished and overfishing is occurring. Which means the fishermen want to target haddock and leave the cod and yellowtail to be. However, they cannot do this because the technology, the gear technology, when they're dragging the Otter trawl, the net, along the sea bottom and destroying a lot

a high population of cod that you could walk across the water on their backs. Cod goes under the name haddock , hake, pollock, ling cod, true cod, scrod -- which is, I guess just a nickname, a local colloquialism for an immature cod -- tomcod, etc. etc. Atlantic cod, Pacific cod. And that's just cod.
Yeah, just sounded good. But maybe they'll reach out to a haddock or flounder.
You have a lot, a surplus. We still have a surplus on Georges Bank of haddock , but Georges Bank cod and yellow tail flounder are overfished and overfishing is occurring. Which means the fishermen want to target haddock and leave the cod and yellowtail to be.
There's Teddy Gill. He was an American ichthyologist about 100 years ago. This guy's still around, Steven Haddock , actually is nearby where we are now in Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute. He studies jellyfish, as you can see on his T-shirt.
Whereas down here where you have a lot of biomass and not a lot of fishing happening, these stocks are not overfishing and overfishing is not occurring. So what you have here on Georges Bank-- you have Georges Bank haddock here. This is what it looks like.
Yeah, just sounded good. But within that category, when you fish cod, you also have haddock and hake and cusk and ling, monk, skate, wolf, dog, eel, ray, pout, plaice, dab, flounder, witch,
However, they cannot do this because the technology, the gear technology, when they're dragging the Otter trawl, the net, along the sea bottom and destroying a lot of habitat in their wake, they're catching cod and yellow tail as a by-catch of haddock .

This is where biology comes. When the trawl-- this is the trawl, the net-- when it's being dragged along the sea floor, the reaction, the biological reaction, for haddock is to swim up.
