"I recently had the opportunity to spend 9 days fishing with the Fish Thailand team and WOW what a trip. Eddy and his team were not only the most professional and knowledgeable folks, but were tremendous to fish with and great guys to be around. The mekong and striped catfish were unbelievable.  After 3 hours I was wondering if I could make it through the day...some how I did.  We caught so many fish, and let me say huge fish, that the trip was already worth it. As a lure fisherman (mostly Bass) I was ready to try the barramundi.  What a beautiful fish, they hit most of the same lures as bass but are much more aggressive.  The late afternoon/early evening bite was out of this world.  They absolutely tore the top water baits up.  I honestly lost count on how many fish we caught! We headed out to another venue - Khao Laem Dam - for some snakehead.  The fishing was unbelievable and the area was gorgeous.  If you have fished for bass or pike in the past, you are in for a treat.  The snakehead slams a lure like you have never seen.  I have never had a fish, pound for pound, that fights or devastates a lure like a snakehead does. After 8 days of fishing you would think we had enough, but Eddy was talking about another venue - Shadow Lake.  We just had to try it out.  It is a much more relaxed area, but the striped catfish seem to be much larger.  We caught some real nice stripers, but no Mekong catfish. That is until the end...with Eddy's help I was able to bring in an 88lb monster.  Last fish, jumped in the van and was off to the airport. There is no better way to end a vacation than that!!! If you have even a half a day in Bangkok check out the Fish Thailand Team.  Even better, spend a week or more having the greatest fishing tour of your life!" -- Shawn Moffitt - May '07 Bangkok Hotel & Jungle Bungalows - Included Fish Thailand's 13 day fishing holidays are inclusive of all airport & fishing transfers, hotel accommodation in Bangkok and jungle bungalow resort accommodation for the jungle fishing safari.

Giant Bluefin Tuna

Tuna is a very popular food fish, and as a result, many species are targeted by the commercial fishing industry. From ahi (yellowfin) to albacore, tuna has been consumed by humans since ancient Greece. The giant bluefin, also known as an Atlantic or northern bluefin, is the king of this very large and tenacious species, and is highly sought after by sport and commercial fishermen all over the world.

The 1,000-pound Giant Bluefin

One thing's for sure: If you were a giant bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus), you'd weigh at least 300 pounds. That's what gets a tuna into the "giant" weight class. But many giant bluefin don't just stop there. They can reach more than 1,000 pounds. The world record holder weighed a robust 1,496 pounds. Northern bluefin can be found all over the Atlantic Ocean and in the Mediterranean Sea, and are closely related to the Pacific bluefin. They're blue and gray with yellow finlets, a large mouth and short pectoral fins, compared to their tuna cousins. If a giant bluefin can manage to avoid the net, it can live as long as 30 years and grow to lengths of 10 plus feet with an average weight of 770 pounds. As is the way of the ocean, the giant bluefin eats other fish that are smaller than it is -- typically mackerel, squid, herring and sardines.

One Pricey Catch

Because of its size and never-say-die personality, the giant bluefin is one of the most highly prized game fish in the ocean. In fact, they rival even the infamous marlin in game fishing lore and notoriety. Catching a giant bluefin can bring in a pretty penny as well, with one record sale in early 2010 fetching $177,000 for a single 513-pound bluefin. It's sold at a premium because it's such a difficult fish to catch and because its tender meat is typically one of the highest priced sashimi items on a sushi menu. Total, the commercial giant bluefin industry tops $7 million each year. Commercial fisheries use large nets called seines, and long line-fishing techniques. This is when an extended fishing line with dozens of baited hooks is dragged behind the boat. Sport fishermen use heavy tackle rod and reel gear, live bait and artificial lures.

Why You Should Throw It Back

Because of its status in the dining world, commercial fisheries have put a strain on the species. Some reports have numbers declining between 70 and 80 percent from recent years and as much as 90 percent overall since the 1970s. The International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) claims that a mere 7,500 tons per year is a sustainable quota. What do commercial fisheries actually bring in each year? 60,000 tons. This means that unless greater effort is made, the giant bluefin tuna could be on the endangered species list.

Catch Me If You Can

Size: largest giant bluefin on record weighed 1,496 pounds Hiding places: can dive as deep as 3,000 feet Favorite baits: squid, mackerel, artificial lures

Harga keindahan alam

 

Oleh ASHRIQ FAHMY AHMAD
ashriq.ahmad@utusan.com.my

Sumber air bersih merupakan antara sumbangan besar ekologi kepada manusia.

SANGGUPKAH anda membayar sejumlah harga bagi menghirup udara segar atau menghayati keindahan sesebuah kawasan hutan rekreasi?
Jika di negara-negara maju, rakyatnya dikenakan bayaran yang tinggi semata-mata untuk menikmati keindahan hutan yang hanya 'sekangkang kera'.
Malah, ada sesetengah negara, hutan yang dimiliki bukanlah hutan semulajadi, sebaliknya ditanam semula bagi memastikan khazanah tersebut terus dapat dinikmati oleh rakyatnya. Tetapi perlu dibayar jika mahu menikmatinya.
Tidak percaya? Jika anda berpeluang melancong ke negara seperti Jepun mahupun Amerika Syarikat atau mana-mana negara moden, jangan terkejut dengan kadar bayaran yang tinggi dikenakan biarpun hanya untuk tujuan bersantai atau bersiar-siar dalam kawasan hutan.
Perkara tersebut merupakan amalan negara-negara maju bagi mendidik rakyatnya menghargai hutan kerana hutan yang mereka miliki semakin berkurangan akibat dihimpit pembangunan.
Di Malaysia, kita amat bertuah kerana dikurniakan hutan hujan tropika yang tidak ternilai harganya malah masih luas.
Namun, sejauh manakah kita sebagai rakyat negara ini menghargainya? Bagaimanakah cara terbaik untuk kita menunjukkan penghargaan terhadap hutan yang masih ada?

Menurut Ketua Pengarah Institut Penyelidikan Perhutanan Malaysia (FRIM), Datuk Dr. Abd. Latif Mohmod, Malaysia amat komited dalam memelihara serta memulihara hutan.
Sebab itu katanya, pelbagai strategi dan polisi diperkenalkan untuk memulihara khazanah yang tidak ternilai tersebut.
"Salah satu strateginya adalah menggunakan kaedah ekonomi bagi memastikan penggunaan sumber semulajadi secara mampan," katanya.
Beliau berkata demikian pada majlis perasmian seminar Bayaran bagi Perkhidmatan Ekosistem (PES), Bagi Hutan Hujan Tropika yang diadakan di ibu negara baru-baru ini.
Jelasnya, keadaan masa kini yang kian mencabar menjadikan program pemuliharaan hutan merupakan tanggungjawab yang amat berat bagi pihak kerajaan.
Ini kerana hasil hutan iaitu balak merupakan sumber yang memberikan pulangan ekonomi kepada negara selama ini.
Persoalannya, adakah setimpal bayaran yang dikenakan berbanding perkhidmatan sebenar yang diberikan oleh sesebuah kawasan hutan kepada komuniti dan negara secara umumnya?
