Good Catch : A Guide to Sustainable Fish and Seafood with Recipes From the World's Oceans - A Cookbook
A stunning and inspiring guide to selecting, preparing, and enjoying sustainable seafood, with 75 recipes, from a world-class spearfisherwoman. Growing up in Montreal, Valentine Thomas was not innately drawn to the water; in fact, it scared her. But later, dissatisfied with her work in corporate law and finance, she was introduced to a sport called spearfishing while on holiday in Ibiza. The ocean—which she had once feared—became her greatest passion, and she made fishing and diving her life's work. In Good Catch, Valentine shares her love for the bounty of waters around the world, as well as her enthusiasm and expertise for cooking fish and seafood in a sustainable way. The recipes, inspired by Valentine's favorite fishing destinations, are organized by region, and include both classic and creative preparations, such as Grilled Clams with Butter, Garlic, and Parsley, a Seafood Boil, Snapper Panzanella with Grapefruit, and Fish Head Nachos. Valentine also teaches readers the surprisingly simple skills they'll need to build a responsible repertoire of seafood recipes, provides tips for making the most eco-friendly choices, and discusses the best ways to prepare each and every type of fish, from raw dishes like ceviche to a baked whole fish. Illustrated by gorgeous photography of both the dishes and scenes from Valentine's dramatic dives, Good Catch is more than just a fish cookbook—it's an adventure into the world of delicious and sustainable seafood. Whether you are new to cooking fish or a seasoned pescatarian in search of more seafood cookbooks, Good Catch is sure to please!
Catch Efficiency and Economic Analysis for Traditional Fishing Gear (Troll Lines) Operated along the Coromandel and Gulf of Mannar Coasts (Southeast India)
This study evaluated the effects of three different J hook types, single hook no. 6, double hook no. 6, and triple hook no. 8, on catch rate, catch composition, and economics of two traditional troll-line methods used along the southeast coast of India. Traditionally, the hand-and leg-held troll line has been used in the Gulf of Mannar (GoM), and the outrigger boomheld method has been used on the Coromandel (CoM) coast. The studies were conducted at fortnightly intervals between June 2020 and January 2021. The overall catch rate (no. h⁻¹) was found to be highest with the double hook (0.6 fish h⁻¹) and lowest with the triple hook (0.04 fish h⁻¹) on the CoM coast, while the single hook (0.34 fish h⁻¹) and triple hook (0.02 fish h⁻¹) showed the highest and lowest catch efficiency along the GoM coast, respectively. The catch composition was constituted by Scomberomorus commerson (36%), Auxis thazard (18%), Euthynnus affinis (16%), Caranx ignobilis (13%), Thunnus albacares (9%), Scomberomorus guttatus (7%), Coryphaena hippurus (0.8%), and Istiophorus platypterus (0.2%) in the GoM, while it was Thunnus albacares (45%), Euthynnus affinis (18%), Auxis thazard (14%), Istiophorus platypterus (7%), Coryphaena hippurus (6%), Acanthocybium solandri (5%), Scomberomorus commerson (3%), and Caranx ignobilis (2%) on the CoM coast. The chi-square test showed a significant correlation between hook type and fish composition (X² = 9650.6, df = 16, p , 0.05). The current study demonstrated a net profit improvement of 3313 rupees/trip at GoM and 2093 rupees/trip at CoM. The benefit-cost ratio (B:C) for GoM and CoM was calculated to be 1.84 and 1.76, respectively.
