I have loved fishing since I was about 6. Just a few years ago I was introduced to scuba diving and to dive in a large school of any kind of fish would be a thrill I would remember forever.

What a great post and wonderful pictures – thanks (to Piero Addis as well) for sharing!

I’m thinking of Norwegians as fishermen, but they do great in Sardinia too

Indeed I agree with the administrator comment, sometimes or we do not express ourselves properly or we aim to the wrong messenger.

The large fleets are the ones to blame for their greedy overfishing practices, the fishermens of Sardinia now and before practice a sustainable fishing system, as in the 50´s the bait boats or pole boats, replaced later for the bigger purse seiners.

Check here at: http://www.tunaseiners.com a collection of pictures of purseiners from the western and eastern pacific and also old baitboats movies

Well if "these silly people" is referring to the fishermen from Sardinia, they are not to blame for the decrease in the bluefin tuna stock. The fish traps in the Mediterranean Sea are passive gear representing a sustainable fishery that has been ongoing for hundreds of years. The problem is the large fleet of purse seiners and long liners. These fisheries are out of control, resulting in overfishing the quota every year. If this continues you are right; we will only see bluefin tuna in old films and pictures, like the Norwegian fishery for bluefin tuna.

What these silly people should realise is that their grandchildren will only see Bluefin tuna in old films and pictures. In earlier times these fish were harvested for communial food,——now its only for greed and money.
