Hmm, perhaps you ignored the part where they are protecting the Chinese yellow croaker by the state? I'm not saying they are great, but they are improving.
@wojomojo no they aren't. They do not care. Iligal Chinese fishing has been on an incline for the past 10 years. Exponentially growing. Chinese overfishing is a rampant and horrendous problem. Regardless of regulation. the underground market especially in this videos particular instance, is way too lucrative for them to stop.
@@sootuckchoong7077😂 they don’t care half their food is contaminated anyways. I’ve seen Chinese merchants spraying chemicals on rotten vegetables to make them look green again or using used grease from restaurants to fry food again. Ps if their oceans are contaminated they’ll just illegally go overfish in other ppls oceans. They eat everything I mean literally. I’m surprised by now they’re not kidnapping ppl to u know…
So my question is, do they eat the whole fish? Or is this another thing like shark fin soup where they just take the dorsal fins and tossed the shark? 🐟🤔
This is the important point. If the fish is still being used and coming from multiple species no problem. If most of the fish is being thrown back big problem. However the video just doesn't give context further than "China bad they eat thing that's strange to us." It might be bad it might not.

If fish maw is coke of the sea, the Chinese need to start paying coke prices to the communities they're overfishing from off the coast of the African continent. Or they can stay in their own waters.
They're buying them from African fishermen for the most part. Heck Uganda alone is seeing an economic revival for their fishermen as they can target invasive Nile Perch knowing they'll get a good price for the maws.
Yet and still it is coming off of Chinese fishing vessels to prop up it's on struggling fishing fleets to met their struggling export businesses 😢😢 kind of like Trump for ever blaming his crimes and crimenially so he can dodge his involvement. Sad but true 🎉😮😢😂
Simple way to ease the burden...Go to places that have a lot of invasive species and just catch those abundantly...money for you, and better for the environment... customers are still getting their maw and everyone wins
That's what is happening right now. Further in this short documentary they talk about the thriving Maw business in Africa, where they catch a specie called the "Nile Fish" which is an invasive species that has destroyed all indigenous fishes.
If they do that, catfish will soon be extinct. These Chinese poachers take whatever animal or fish is popular at the time until there are no more left.
That’s what the full video explains that they do. They talk about how Ugandan invasive fish species are a main import to China due to the ban inside the country itself. They don’t care about what kind of fish it’s from, so invasive fish species are fine and the rest of the fish is still edible after that- the swim bladder is just part of the guts that are normally removed from the fish during gutting.
Thats not how it works it's like prescribing Tylenol to someone bleeding out. It's specifically chosen because it has those medical properties that people are looking for
They have a problem in their culture about short term vs long term. They will over fish, over harvest, over mine, etc etc. "Tomorrow will take care of itself".
For those curious why fish maws and shark fin keeps coming up in these issues is since they make up 2 of the "four treasures" of traditional Cantonese cooking. The other 2 being abalone and sea cucumber, the latter of which has actually helped China's aquaculture industry as sea cucumber farms actively clean the waters they're grown in.
They should NEVER kill a fish just for its swim bladder. At least use the rest of the fish. All but the fins, gills, scales and innards are all edible. Also why is this fish required? Why not one of the other fish we actually farm instead of destroying a whole other species?
It's really a good market the its a part that usually gets thrown away but now gets sold to China it's not a waste really it's the opposite. Where I'm from it's worth almost if not more than the rest of the fish.
Cuz the Chinese culture and government is genuinely trash. Not the people. People vary. Plenty of good and bad. But the culture of rampant mysticism surrounding animal parts, utter disregard and being the cause of dozens of extinction events, sailing into other country’s waters so they can overfish there too, polluting the world more than every western country combined……got plenty of reason to hate the culture.
They probably do, we don't know that they don't from this video. The whole fish is profits and this world runs on greed, why wouldn't they harvest the lot. This is the important bit though, we should eat/use 100% of the animals we use simple as that every time.
And very likely they will develop cultural practices that incentivise harvesting the worst tasting parts of the animal in the cruelest and most wasteful manner like finning sharks and leaving them to die slowly.

They only care because they themselves overfished “their” waters to oblivion. So now they realized that their precious fish is almost completely gone xD.
The real crazy part is that, by the numbers, demand for these products goes waaaaay up after it's labeled illegal - an entire black market emerges, unbridled and, most importantly, untamed. Follow the money and you find that large companies continue the trade, and laugh all the way to the bank when the harshest penalty is a slap on the wrist and a pennies on the dollar fine.
It probably is and this video is misrepresenting it because any offal has always been low hanging fruit for ignorant vegans and people that love Thier bland, supermarket bought, factory farmed pork and chicken. West hates food variety.
Bruh there is “food variety” and then there is “over hunting every native species of aquatic life in your oceans to such a degree that thousands of your fishing ships have to sail into other country’s waters every day just to keep up with demand”
Probably not wise to judge it based on this video. Tbh, I think eating the swim bladder is actually a good thing, less things go to waste. In western countries it would probably just be thrown away.
@@joesr31well, yea. I don't think trite is exactly something I'll easily find in a western setting whereas the Southeast Asians managed to process them well enough that cow stomachs become a pretty tasty source of protein.
If demand of a certain food ingredient had skyrocketed, it may mean that it is delicious if prepared correctly. Much like how the Japan have high demand for certain fish species; puffer fish, eel and blue fin tuna
Not fish maw. I had eaten fish maw soup before knowing that it was endangered. It was not bad, but it just didn't have any particular taste or smell, it was all just texture. You could get a similar eating experience from some fungis.
@@yvrelna umm fish maw itself are not endangered, it depends on which fish its sourced from. When I go fishing and caught a cod or monkfish I usually keep the liver, the swim bladder (fish maw) and testes/ovaries to make stew, as it enhances like you said texture but also umami flavour of the stew. Would be a waste IMO to advocate throwing away the maw of the fish when its perfectly edible.
Didn't this channel have a video about the fish maw being sourced from Lake Victoria in Africa, saying the Chinese switched from an endangered species to an invasive species? Everyone was praising them on that video.
The Chinese don’t “switch”. They will overconsume every possible source of quality fish bladder. They haven’t decreased their intake of endangered species, merely increased their intake of invasive species.
Total b.s. I saw the documentary about this. The initial variety was becoming endangered. So, the Chinese authorities slapped a ban on it. Enterprising Africans filled up the supply chain with another type of fish. The fisherman don't sell the bladder but the whole fish. The bladder is removed and rest of the fish is sold off. The irony is that a fisherman said they used to toss away the fish maw!
One of my favorite parts of Monster Hunter lore is that in the world of that game the Guild Knights are basically a roving band of highly trained badasses that just kill poachers on sight and sometimes run sting operations.
When talking about the Chinese, it's that they eat everything that moves including their organs. (a bad thing) In the West, we call it nose-to-tail, no waste. (a good thing) Same thing but rebranded for propaganda
@Ringleader17 Yes, you're right. However, this is not just limited to China, as high population will naturally result in higher demands for things, right? So across the world, many places with high population will usually have problems with harming endangered wildlife and species, like in North America and South America, logging, land clearing, and human activities also drove many species to extinction while many today are still being harmed, including endangered trees, incects, birds, and much more. So my point here summarized is that I totally agree with you on the hunting of endangered species in China, as it has a very large population and thus a very great demand. But assuming or expecting this to usually happen in China is a harmful stereotype, propagates racism, and ignores how every large population has its own detrimental impact on nature and its wildlife in different ways.
@@kevinlligraphy5844 oh, I get you on that 100%. People in general are responsible for the destruction of this planet, don't get me wrong. The difference is direct and indirect. Western societies bring species to extinction by habitat destruction, while the East (more so China, don't get it twisted, we dont see this with other large Asain counties) flat out hut the species directly to extinction. Hypocriticaly, and probably rightfully, we call them out on that.
I wish the Chinese would develop a taste for regular food. They have driven the Rhino almost to extinction. The sea cucumber is gone from the South China Sea and we are running out of sharks due to their love for shark fin soup.

@@kevinlligraphy5844 oh, I get you on that 100%. People in general are responsible for the destruction of this planet, don't get me wrong. The difference is direct and indirect. Western societies bring species to extinction by habitat destruction, while the East (more so China, don't get it twisted, we dont see this with other large Asain counties) flat out hut the species directly to extinction.
Hypocriticaly, and probably rightfully, we call them out on that.
The amount of racism in the comments is hilarious
Nobody forces you to read them 😂
@@josedorsaith5261 ? Im having a great time reading them lmfao
Damn who knew fish can become endangered
👍 Wonderful video! Excellente work!
Chinese will eat anything that had a pulse
Chinese bababa
The Chinese actually CARE about endangered species?! Except the pangolin and the rhino of course 🤦🏻♀️
Wait..China is not a predator of an endangered fish species!!...you actually believe that!!..
No such thing. Continue the business
-Facts
Ah yes chase the small fisherman and not the massive companies with their nets.
Started short with a useless fact then proceeds to make a cross reference to drugs. Wtf???
I’d rather starve than eat this. Doing my part to save the fish maw
So it’s illegal to fish in China, so they just have other people around the world fish for it so they can eat it, despicable
I wish the Chinese would develop a taste for regular food. They have driven the Rhino almost to extinction. The sea cucumber is gone from the South China Sea and we are running out of sharks due to their love for shark fin soup.
First time I’ve ever heard China placing conservation restrictions 🇨🇳
Hold on, hold on. Did i just hear china cares about fish conservation?
Bro china wasn't finding any fish maw that they claim they own a part of the sea in ph💀
Freaking sad how savage we humans can be, terminating our own resources. 😢
Prolly another publicity stunt... "Yo dude!! We have to go try that cocaine fish bro"!!
Basically wild-caught seafood is unsustainable.
Can't the Chinese bugs use the Asiatic carp they plagued the entire world with for that shit?
I mean China still allows ivory trade there, so they probably don't enforce fish maw that hard.
Humans: #1 in putting in zero effort to let nature rebalance itself
I get traditions and culture. But why do they have to eradicate species for what ends up being a bland or just meh dish? Same for shark fin soup.
Btw the overfishing of Totoaba is one of the main reasons the vaquita marina is an endengared species as they get trapped in the nets fishers throw to the ocean
Almost flavourless too.
Same thing with shark fins.
The texture is nice though, like jelly
People need to get priorities straight. The idiots don’t believe they are killing off all these species.
Hog maws are the stomach of the hog. So I guess maw does mean the insides of anything’s center body mass.😮😢
What is up with the chinese? Rhino horn? Fish bladders? Shark fin? They just dont care how many species the wipe out..
We should pray for people to stop poaching and for a greater abundance of fish
You damn well know china hasn't stopped fishing any and everything. They literally have fishing boats off the coast of nearly every country😂
It's always the Chinese...
I feel bad about throwing away all those fish bladders all these years.
