There are several indicators that show the electric pulse fishing causes less damage, carefully investigated following the scientific method and those arguments are brushed of, and given the same importance as some Belgian fisherman claiming that years ago he caught 15kg and today none. That argument is empirical at best, but more likely topped with exaggeration. Also please note that the ban is more political than anything else. The French government has always been taken hostage by it fishermen and the French fishermen have not invested in new methods, so their reaction to that is that the new method needs to be forbidden, so nobody has it. The worst of this video is what it says implicitly, that it somehow is bad that the research continues. Research is important, better methods are vital.

I wonder what the ocean would look like if we had a 5-10 year ban on commercial fishing.

You're right, let's just smash our big ass chains into the ocean floor instead.

Real Life Lore anybody?

Human logic on virtually anything: "Our old traditional methods are extremely destructive sure but these new methods that are provably vastly less destructive are still not completely non-destructive, so why bother updating our old methods?"

Even though I'm not a fan of commercial fishing. I can't deny that electric pulse fishing is less damaging to the seafloor then the alternatives. Besides that, in the video it is mentioned that certain types of fish break the spine when caught with pulse fishing. She forgot to mention that those same fish also don't make it out of conventional nets alive.

Actually the electrocuting only happened to 4 out of 45 fish, and in addition these 45 fish were of a smaller size. This means the overall rate of fish snapping their spines is far lower than this video claims. Also, it has been determined that the sharks and rays are not affected. This video does not look at the actual facts, and follows the French lobby. French fishermen did not innovate and are now jealous of a good technique that they do not have. Instead of adopting this new technique that is better in practically every way, the French have started a lobby in the EU to ban pulse fishing altogether. Gotta love bureaucracy.

IT IS ONLY BANNED BECAUSE OF THE FRENCH

the French are just salty because they compete with the Netherlands

I notice when it comes to cons: it just is. When you're talking about a pro: its a claim. Seems you're not "reporting" objectively on this topic.

Omi.. the fish spines are broken.. well let's not eat them.. we much rather kill them and eat them with whole spines before we debone them..

it's not really cheating, but it is pay to win

*_So what about that time when Squidward got electrocuted by the electric fence?_*

I never knew there were any upscale applications of that method, interesting video!

Does anyone here feel like discussing whether there really is true objectivity in narrative media?

The thing here is: France doesn't have the technology and it's lobbying heavily to see the ban on electric fishing, which although it isn't without environmental impact, the impact can be much less than other older methods. It's a shame that the EU is basically run with heavy pressure from Germany and France, and that those two countries will do whatever it takes to get their will.

You could say this technology is... Shocking.

I'm saying this as a man who knew neither method of how fisherman fished, I had no idea this method existed nor did I have any idea that the old method existed nor have I particularly cared about anything involving fishing in my entire life; so you can't get a more unbiased answer than mine. So you're trying to tell me that this form of fishing is worse than dragging the chain on the floor, as if; this is better than dragging a chain on the floor both for the environment and for our wallets. Chain fishing released a lot of carbon emissions into the air because it needed to burn so much fuel, and the chain itself is destroying the sea floors; both of these are polluting the air and the oceans damaging the ecosystems as well as the wildlife. This method localizes and minimize the damage, all they need to do is refine the method a bit so it doesn't damage so many clutches of sea eggs; or forbid sections of the ocean from being fished for certain periods of time or forever so that the fish in that area can repopulate what was lost from the prior fishing peroid without worrying about their clutches being damaged. But even as it is this is doing less damage overall when compared to the old method, I'm the kind of guy who wants to stop global warming and who cares about animals; but I don't care if some fishes spine gets snapped. Any dead fish we don't scoop up will be eaten by scavengers, Predators, filter feeders, or plants if the fish end up decomposing on the seafloor. There are also other kinds of fish who use bioelectrical shocks to hunt their prey, producing similar if not the exact same outcomes as this finishing method; I see only good things from this fishing method compared to the old way.

So which method is less harmful? The chains or the shocks?

But the ocean is a desert not because it is dry (obviously), but because it has quite a low bioenergy production combined to other of earths bioms. A KZfaq channel named “atlas pro” made quite an interesting video about that...

From all the info in the video, electric fishing seems much much better for the ecosystem. Why are you arguing for a more destructive and harmful way to fish?!

3:28 Can you please provide imperial measurements, please? I'm trying to find out what the difference is in percent...

Real Life Lore!

People fail to realize that we can’t have it all as humans. We have to use the method that’s more effective, cheaper and more sustainable.

Sure the method we currently use is much more destructive and the new one does less damage, but it still does some of the same types of damage so let's ban it.

Cheddar portrays this as a bad thing. Why? We have next to no extensive research as to how this affects marine life in the long term. And as for the Netherlands being allowed to carry on doing this for research purposes until the EU has finished its negotiations, seems like a good thing to me.

Is there any commercially viable alternative, that is significantly less harmful?

I wouldn't be suprised if some oil companies prefer the old method.

A message to everyone watching this video: please try multiple reliable sources on what beam trawling and electric pulse fishing actually are and what their actual impact on the fish and environment is. Don't yet assume this video is correct.

Ampullae of Lorenzini. Those are the electro-magnetic sensors possessed by Elasmobranchs (sharks, saktes, and rays).

Does it recharge electric eels?

I got a pringles add where they stack pringles and the *First word was pringles*

When the Phrase "hmmmm... i like Cheddar" becomes a new Meaning :D

All fishing methods damage the fish. So either you ban fishing as a whole. Or you allow fishing in a way that damages the fish and the environment the least. Electric pulse fishing is less damaging than older fishing methods.

I don't to eat fish because of microplastics in all of them, but I sadly suppose it's not only in fish

Soo how does electric pulse fishing work???

And cheddar is a startup talk about that!

There is much more nuance in this story. It has much to do with politics. The thing is that only the Dutch use it and fisherman in other countries like France and Britain don't or cannot invest. Even the Belgium institute ILVO is in favour of pulse (electric) fishing. It is much more animal and environmental friendly. That said...fishery should be and is bound to certain restrictions

I think everytime someone goes fishing, the limit should be 5 for civilian fishing and 20 for fisherman sellers

I liked and linked it around.

Yeah how about we DON'T destroy the oceans? People need to invest in building aquaponics yesterday. Fish are great to eat but we shouldn't be destroying wild populations to get them.

Wow

Thats crazy

Pulse fishing is 2 to 3 times more efficient and less harmful than trawling. The EU wants to limit the HUGE growth the Netherlands is offering the world. Don't think of this problem in a closed minded, small scale. Think globally on these regulations

RealLifeLore sent me

People were using _explosions_ to fish??

Please upvote as there is important info missing. More fish gets damaged with pulse fishing, but with traditional methods, those fish would have died. So its kinda better, as they are still able to reproduce. I don´t eat fish myself, but this technique is better in almost all ways than the traditional fishing methods, do some research if you like. The french do not like the Dutch to have this technique, as they outcompete them on the waters. A good solution would be for the EU to privatise waters, just like in iceland. That way, fishers will not fish away the fish from each other, as is happening right now with the ineffective fish quota.

There’s a video by Best Ever Food Review Show about electric fishing in Vietnam, it’s very interesting go check it out too

Yo, this channel is collecting a lot of Q T 3.14s. I see you, Cheddar.

Better than a blender

OK

The french are just jealous puls fishing is much better for the fish the fish is so alive and can continue to live on when thrown back in the water

Minecraft AFK fish farm?

But if you electrocute the fish isn't it in the net?

But the french want to stay in the middleages with their clumsy 5meter fishing boats

Who else is here because of reallifelore

What about not fishing at all?

Cod fish with fractured spines and internal bleeding!!!! 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

Why the host seems so animated and it seems she is just reading from a script without any emotions

or more specifically, my university xD

I came here from Realifelore

This is how you fish in Breath of the Wild.

And now the french have the upper hand in the fishing industry. So much for the environment....

I am a fisherman on a ship fishing with the pulse. the pulse is the best invention for people and nature. CO2 emissions have been reduced by 50 percent. the fish also has less to lead underwater. this means that the fish often comes on board undamaged. the French have not innovated in this technique. now that we emit less fuel with the pulse and catch better fish, France is jealous and they want to ban the pulse. pulse fishing is the best fishing.💪🏻💪🏻🐟🐟🌊🌊

G E K O L O N I S E E R D

Let the trees eat.

I was promised a toyota corolla for coming here

God, this asian girl is cute

Rll

Lol wtf is this shit? Halfway through I expected to hear "and now a message from our sponsor, exxon"

I liked the presenter. I hope Chedder uses her on more videos. 😍😍😍😍😍😍

Fishermen are just as greedy as anyone else.

Humans got all the potential in the world and it's being used on unethical fishing

If we eat electried fishes we will eat electricity because the fish was electircity

You people are hacks. You make it seem like those groups are taking the high road not buying those caught that way. But then show an interview when the guy says we don't buy it because it's a poor quality. They don't care about the ethics, their problem is the quality. They'll buy from whomever can offer that.

You're such a negative attitude towards this, and yet it's still better than the original form that dragged chains and destroy the sea beds, right? Your taking it very by Stone to this whole matter. If you're going to be biased you should present a solution to the whole thing. What would you have us to not catch any fish? You get a thumbs down in a comment which will help you, you get no subscription because you cannot percent a video without being biased. Learn to be unbiased you get my sport!!!

like all sea species, including lobster and shrimp, they've all migrated north to more comfortable temperatures, due to the global warming "myth".

So what's your solution then? Sounds like you're just trying to wine if you can't offer a better method

What a barbaric method of fishing we really are the pest of this planet

i came for unbiased scientific views on interesting subjects... After a video on the wall and this far from objective piece I will be unsubscribing.

troling should be ban

This felt more like opinion based. Instead of facts

Why is this so biased?

zap

Let's try a common sense approach, what exactly do fish feed on? Now how will destroying the sea bed INCREASE the catch LONG TERM? Answer the opposite will take place

Pretty good video with pretty good information but it is delivered by the host in such a uninspiring, blan and boring way. Would be a good idea to invest in professional human hosts for higher production value.

This is why I eat locally produced potatoes and free roaming chicken/eggs/milk, not fish from pacific ocean/avocados from Chile or siia seeds from other side of the world

evil electric fishes

This video is very one sided

This is so racist

Honestly, no body cares how you kill a fish😂it’s not gonna change anything

I am no expert on this topic, but the way you're reporting on is sounds VERY biassed. - You claim there is a lot of evidence that this is less destructive and produces less CO2 than the old method. - And then as the arguments against it, you have a few French cooks and a Belgian fisherman? Where are the advantages of boom and chain trawling over this method, as you clearly seem to think those are a lot better? Why do you not mention those?

still using Electric Fishing? what are they seriously joking

This type of fishing has been banned in our country because it causes harm to the marine and river lifeline. This type of practice make more harm then good. So it is better banned then useful.

All these mentions of the EU are a reminder that Sweden doesn’t participate in the Euro because it doesn’t want its fishing regulated

She is beutiful! great video as well

The eu is bad for the environment

Fish should live and die on a farm just like other kinds of food

Why don't you educate yourself by learning the facts from the last 20 years of electric pulse fishing by scientist and gov. agencies in the US. 1000's of examples of dozen of different types of fish stunned, sampled, recovered and either kept or released depending on the species and the program. Not one example of a fish with a spine or organ damage. This video is totally false.

This is just propaganda
