Once again, we have the threat of complete closure of haddock, whiting, prawn and other fisheries related to cod allegedly.
What tests had been carried out on lobsters, crabs or prawns when the statement was made?
Crustaceans are crabs, lobsters, shrimps, prawns and crayfish.
I emphasise the point that the prawn fishery is not a bottomless pit.
I suspect that a bad prawn is good only for a rather bad curry, rather than for a good prawn cocktail.
We all know that that is possible in the case of oysters, lobster and prawns and that in certain cases shellfish poisoning can be fatal.
Large-scale fishers concentrate on production for urban and export markets (especially prawns for export) while artisanal fishers concentrate on own consumption and local markets, with only a limited export orientation.
In contrast to this, according to the upstream fishermen, only those prawns and fishes that escape the fishing nets in the estuarine bar mouth reach them.
