Is that 7 tons a day or for the whole two weeks? Do you know where they're landing them? I'd like to see this with my own eyes/camera.

Not to undermine or downplay what might be actually going on here but to the best of your knowledge are the bass being returned as part of this survey? I'm obviously extremely curious!!
Protect the magical sport of sea angling and spread the word that conservation is the way forward. Put fish back!!!!

Boats involved were 2 pelagic vessels Lovon and Carmona.
They were fishing for pilchards which are ever present along the coast.
They are a NON-quota species.They were processed in Baltimore where they kept 25 workers busy for 3 weeks.
About a box of haddock and whiting were caught over the 3 weeks as by-catch.NO Bass were caught or landed.

Please get the facts right before posting......Thanks
