Peg,
good stuff!
Raising Dorado can affect the long liners in many ways. If they are not doing the raising, the improvement in quality will make theirs very hard to sell.
When a Dorado is caught and lays in the sun or on ice for 3 or 4 hours it will turn grey. That means it is spoiling. They get mushy and take on a new flavor.
Lat year 314,000 pounds of Dorado was sold for cat food in San Diego by mexican fishermen. They recieved 10 Cents a pound.
So this tragedy has more acts than one.

Farming might not be a great idea..
Read this article about the fishing near San Diego..
(where the Dorado, yellowtail and tuna fishing is going great guns now!)

So, does that mean it is illegal to fish within 500 meters of a panga?

FB,
What we are proposing is true fish farming not just rearing tuna in cages and the differance is clear. Tuna require heavy feed of other fish stocks. Dorado can be hatched and grain fed.
So the Tuna farmers are contributing to the scouring of the sea by harvesting other specie to feed them.
Mahi Mahi fresh fish markets in the USA and Japan are ready buyers for a super fresh high quality product.
I can prove all of this and will be happy to do so.

I am new to this so please bear with me as you may have already answered these questions.
If you get the local dorado farming productive, what will stop the long lining? Are dorado the ONLY species taken and/or used by the longliners.

| According to research by Dave Harcourt, the long-liners may not be covering costs.. Some will probably always subsistence(sp) fish.. The long range goal is to employ them.. Even if they continue, the farmed Dorado is superior table fare.. Dave's research also shows they long-liners cannot get the product to port in fresh condition.. Consequently is going for catfood..
