Japanese financial giant Nomura profits from lack of fish

Japan's list of environmental sins is growing. If it wasn't already pushing the boundaries of acceptable behaviour by killing whales in the Southern Ocean and slaughtering dolphins in Taiji it

now seems that Japan's industrial and financial giants want to get in on the act.

Mitsubishi have tried to corner the market by stockpiling 40% of the world's supply of critically endangered bluefin tuna and now Nomura Securities Company appear to be doing similar with other overexploited fish and 'seafood' marine species.

As the world's fisheries fail and demand for fish increases, Nomura hope to make a killing by creating the world's first investment trust specifically targeting global 'seafood' and fisheries related businesses.

The IUCN sees red

Our marine ecosystem is under threat like never before in the history of humanity. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) 33% of cartilaginous fishes and 15% of bony fishes are now threatened.

The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) report states that due to overfishing, catches are seeing fewer and fewer large-bodied predatory fish, and more species lower on the food chain, such as jellyfish. Furthermore, overexploitation has put 20 species on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List as threatened with extinction.

Due to overfishing, 19% of all fish stocks are now overexploited, 8% are depleted, 52% fully exploited, with only 1% showing signs of recovery according to the (CBD) Technical Report for the Global Biodiversity.

The UN biodiversity meeting in Japan has agreed a 10 year plan aimed at preserving 10% of the oceans by 2020. These are regarded as too small by many conservation scientists, who point out that the existing target for oceans is already 10%.

Gannet success story to end along with discards?

Seabird populations have plummeted in the UK over the last few decades, mostly due to the overfishing of fish like sandeels, a vital food species for many seabirds. There has been one exception to this depressing trend, the northern gannet.

The UK gannet population has doubled since 1970, from roughly 100,000 birds to well over 200,000 today (56% of the world's population). It is believed that the reason for this spectacular success is the horrendous EU fishing industry policy of discarding unwanted fish.

The gannet is unique amongst UK seabirds in that it can dive from a great height, plunge into the ocean and grab fish that other seabirds cannot reach. It is also a large seabird, allowing it to outcompete most other seabirds when scavenging or foraging. When fishing boats throw unwanted and undersized fish overboard the gannet is well placed to take advantage of this completely unnatural bounty. Gannets may have also come to see fishing boats that are discarding fish as a reliable source of food. Dr Hamer, from Leeds' Faculty of Biological Sciences thinks that "gannets have different aptitudes and specialities and for some, that skill might be finding and following fishing boats."

If as expected gannet numbers plummet after discarding is banned, the one European seabird success story of the last few years will be seen to be due to nothing more than human folly. The folly of overfishing and waste, which benefited one specialised species of seabird for a time, but saw the greatest decline in overall seabird numbers in human history.

How much is a blue shark worth?

The blue shark in the photo was bought for £5 from Brixham fish market this morning.

Is £5 a fair price for the life of one of the UK's most spectacular wild predators? Even the fishmonger was horrified at the wholesale price, but he has to make a living and almost unbelievably he's not doing anything illegal.

How is this any different to the African bushmeat trade, endangered animals on sale for a relative pittance and serving no imperative nutritional need?

It has been suggested that, throughout the course of its life, a single shark could be worth as much as $2 million in tourist revenue. And that's before we even consider its worth to the planet.

If you can buy the carcass of an animal as valuable and threatened as a blue shark for a mere £5 in a conservation minded country, what hope is there for worldwide shark conservation?

We are squandering our marine wildlife for peanuts, and the protection of sharks and other threatened marine species needs to be drastically overhauled if we are to continue to see magnificent animals like the blue shark in the wild.

Tuna destroyer

The Spanish owned and EU flagged tuna purse seiner "Albatun Tres" a 115 m, 3,200 GRT 'super, super seiner' that can net 3,000 tonnes of tuna in a single fishing trip. This is almost double the entire annual catch of some Pacific island countries. If the EU allows this, what hope is there for the world's fish and our marine ecosystems?
