  1. Too smart to eat? Why octopus farms are such a slippery problem
    By Stephen Burgen

  3. Australia’s largest wild-caught prawn business, Raptis and Sons Group (brands: Agrios, Seaport, Ocean Pearl), has collapsed into administration with no buyer found — costing ~200 jobs.
    The family business, started in the 1950s from a fish & chip shop, ran a 15-boat fleet out of tiny Karumba in the Gulf of Carpentaria.
    Blame game: oversupply, lower catches, rising costs — plus fishing licence restrictions and diesel shock according to Bob Katter.
    Another blow to local seafood towns while we import more and more.

  4. “An entire system of comharran – Gaelic navigational marks – surrounds the islands… A wealth of knowledge about the creatures which populate these fishing grounds is also encoded within the Gaelic language.”

  5. A Fishing Boat’s Story in Cork

    These intimate details from a single fishing boat in Ballycotton harbour tell the story of Ireland’s working coastline better than any wide-angle vista could manage. Every weathered rope, rusty chain, and salt-stained life ring speaks to the daily reality of earning a living from the sea.

    Ballycotton’s fishing fleet primarily targets lobster, crab, and various fish species in the rich waters off the East Cork coast. The heavy rope and chain equipment visible in these photographs is essential for handling fishing gear in the often rough conditions of the Celtic Sea. Modern Irish fishing boats like this one typically use a combination of traditional techniques and modern technology, with equipment that must meet strict safety regulations while remaining practical for daily use. The life rings and safety equipment visible are mandatory under Irish maritime law, and the weathered appearance of the boat’s equipment reflects the harsh marine environment that constantly tests both vessels and crew along Ireland’s Atlantic coast.
