    Really nice video!!! I hope can see some videos about how to spearfishing when scuba diving. I found the bubble of my breath will make the fish away from me. Saaaad!

      Hey Yizhou, I can understand that. But there are a multitude of reasons why freediving in better suited to spearfishing. Less bubbles to scare fish and alot safer overall.

      Yeah, I think it is definitely a pressing issue currently. I'll be sure to cover the topic in more depth in an upcoming video. Thank you for the feedback, much appreciated!

    Cool video, Interesting to hear snapper are starving in the gulf, One would think with all the Kina around they shouldn't have a problem with food supply

    • @BlueNeoprene
      @BlueNeoprene  Рік тому +1

      Yes, that is exactly what I was thinking initially, however small size snapper can't open up the kina. Small snapper are a lot more limited in their feeding options that larger models. The case in the gulf currently seems to be few large snaps and many small snapper. Snapper are social, often hunting together. In a healthy ecosystem the big snaps crack open the kina and the small one's feast on the remnants but with bugger all big dogs left the small snapper all compete for a more limited food source. Most snappers simply don't have the teeth to tear open an urchin.
      The gulf has been getting decimated for decades and the whole ecosystem is in a bad way. I think it is possible that the gulf acts as a nursery for snappers, with juvenile snappers coming from other areas around the country. There is often an incredible number of small fish with very few big fish, I don't think the resident reproductive population in the gulf can totally account for the number of juveniles. This may have historically been a good move for the snapper but in recent times the fish turn up and the ecosystem is screwed and not enough food for them all. Thats just speculation but we can't look at the gulf as an isolated area, because it isn't and may be a sign of what's to come for the rest of our country.
      Cheers Vaughn

      @@BlueNeoprene I think you are right, And of course historically up until the 70's the gulf had 1200 Square kms of muscle Reef that provided for our small snapper, so that is gone for them thanks to the commercial dredging, Perhaps we should have a upper size limit where they need to be thrown back to help? we have a minium of 30cm perhaps anything over 45cm goes back? Problem right now we have not have not had a govt that has the will to take on the commercial fishing sector, they put rules on our farmers to protect the enviroment rather easily which is good but the commercial fishing companies seem to be a protected species and yet more enviromentally damaging. Considering the plight of our Scallops, we continued to let them dredge to almost extinction and it was common knowledge they where in serious trouble and yet....Commercial interests always seem to come first unfortuantley and they only then make decision a when it is easy to make, as We will ban scallop taking when there is nothing left...that seems to be the pattern.

    • @BlueNeoprene

      Yes an upper limit would be a great idea, successful catch and release fishing is hit or miss most the time unfortunately. I just reckon f all the commercial fishermen, get them out of the gulf. I wouldn't be surprised if the gulf recovered significantly in a short time period with the out lawing of commercial fishing. They destroy everything from the reef to the fish. Bait fish are commercially caught by the ton in the gulf, starving out the already decimated local populations.
      The government is hopeless and has been taking advantage of us, they take our money to push BS policies and protect the interests of corporations that destroy the planet and us in the process. Fishing company's contribute millions to lobbying and funding "research" that aligns with their agenda. The people in government tasked with protecting our moana do not care about it, at least not as much as they care about money. David Parker is a commercial fishing industry puppet, and his greed will be responsible for the slaughter of millions of fish and widespread destruction.
      The commercial fishing industry has big players, most operate internationally. They have a lot of money and a lot of influence. They can pay people to push their agenda. Farms on the other hand are, I imagine, mostly family owned or part of a small collective. They don't have the money or influence to bribe. Farmers are at the mercy of the government, but the commercial fishing companies are whispering in its ear.
      Judgment will find these people. At the very least they will burn for all eternity in scorching fire when they leave this earth, the earth they tried so hard to kill. Karma catches up, always. The punishment for their crimes will be brutal and endless. Shed no tear, for these are the people who lead us away from the light in blind pursuit of money and power.

      @@BlueNeoprene I Totally agree, However Karma aint going to help the siuation right now, We have Legal Sea, Green peace, Forest and Bird etc doing their best to put the brakes on this nonsense, and they are not have much impact. The real change is going to be a generational one, too many old values, Loyalties and connections here im afraid, Fisheries NZ is a joke. All these people have caused this problem, it would be a mistake to think they will fix it. Only either something Radical happens or over time they get replaced with a younger Generation that has grown up with enviromental values, cause 30-40 years ago there werent any

      Thank you Felix, glad you enjoyed. I always want to convey some sort of a message that helps people and/or the planet. One of my greatest fears is the channel devolving into generic background noise and contributing to the ever-growing mountain of garbage entertainment that provides no value to the viewer.
      People like yourself who watch my videos encourage me to explore my passion and the ocean is the venue of such activity. I owe most of this channel to my amazing viewers and the ocean, so its only fair to try and give back.
