Sustainable Fishing in Cornwall
Cornish Fishermen have found a sustainable way of earning a living and respecting and conserving fish stocks by developing a range of methods that suit the seasons and the abundant and diverse range of fish around the Cornish coast.Traditional handline fishing is one of the oldest and most sustainable ways of fishing for mackerel, pollock and sea bass. Different types of line and hooks are used, according to the species. There is no bycatch and because the fish are caught live, any undersized ones are immediately put back in the water. The fish are quickly sorted, tagged and put into boxes of slush ice, which keeps them in the best possible condition.
