Falklands' 2013 fisheries catch limits similar to this year’s
The Falkland Islands total allowable effort and catch limits for 2013 will be largely the same as in 2012 it was agreed at the Islands’ Fisheries Committee Meeting this week.
Director of Natural Resources John Barton explained the background and noted that a presentation on the 2013 Fisheries Advice paper was given to Falkland Islands Fisheries Company Association (FIFCA) members in June with the opportunity for discussion and questions.
The paper was circulated to FIFCA on July 4 with the opportunity for FIFCA members to provide any comments.
A paper presented to the committee noted that because catch limits and effort were similar to 2012: “As such most fisheries will see no or only minor adjustments in fishing time.”
It was also agreed at the meeting that access conditions for the 2013 illex fishery would be on substantially the same terms as the 2012 fishery, with a modification to the refund policy.
The 2012 fishery was reasonable with around 87.000 tons of illex caught. License uptake was good with approximately 100 jiggers involved from Korea and Taiwan.
Mr Barton said: “Whilst catches did not reach the threshold catch level which would dictate no refund, adjusting for the value of the catch ruled out any refund.” (PN).-

“The Falkland Islands total allowable effort and catch limits for 2013 will be largely the same as in 2012......”
I say:
That means that the three thousand (3,000) squatters in Malvinas will, again next year, be responsible for the extraction of nearly half the migrating biomass on the South Atlantic by licensing the catches to Asian fishing fleets…..
“Graciously” leaving the other half of the catch to the forty two million (42,000,000) Argentineans………
Very “efficient” greedy, glutton, pirating Environmental Terrorism by the squatters; I must say.
The spirit of Henry VIII seems to live quite well in them Islands.....
Just remember Friar Peto’s: “Shall dogs lick thy blood…....”
You'll be telling me that life should be fair next!
Not that there are any squatters in that region. There were, for a few months at the end on 1832, and again in 1982, but they were sent home.
And is this depriving Argentina of any catch? Is the intent to deprive Argentina of catch in pursuit of a political objective?
Suck it up baby!
Both left a mess by murder/rape or shitting in people's bedrooms, leaving the Islands in a worse state than they found it.
Kinda explains why 42,ooo,ooo people with some of the best resources on the planet can't @2 “cant make a go of living on the 8th largest country on the planet,” and are so greedy they want to steal the resources of 3,000 people, like the would- be pirates they are.
1) As usual, everything is ”Irrelevant” for you…….. Yaaaawn.
2) What is so “efficient” about those Islanders sitting on their ever growing humongous butts cashing in on Asian fishing licenses…???
Any Turnip can do that….!!!
And that’s exactly what Argentina is doing by “inviting” some Asian fishing fleets to enjoy the hospitality of our harbors and fish as much as they can on the waters beyond our mile 201…..
3) We agree about live not being fair……..... but:
Whilst you seem to enjoy that fact and exult about being born British, this Argentinean always feels ill at ease when meeting someone less fortunate than him.

A nice weekend to all of you.
El Think.
ln your dreams squatter turnip.
Night night twerp, time to change your name or go back underground.
As for relevancy, so little that is said on here is relevant. You refer to the Falklanders as 'squatters' knowing full well that Argentina has neither an historical nor legal case. You are into geopolitics. You just 'want' the islands because you recognise the advantages of vastly increasing Argentina's territory.
Well the game is not going well for you Think. Do you really believe that your neighbours will let you get that powerful? Or that Brazil will countenance another big boy on the block? Unlikely. Chile will recognise that if you are not fighting the English then you'll probably turn on them.
Isn't geopolitics great Think .... it should make you think.......... maybe you're getting old :-)
“June’s Technical Report 18/12 ended the season in July, when a reported 92.332 tons of squid had been unloaded in Argentine ports both by jiggers and as by-catches of the trawlers.”
Thats more than double the limit of what the falklands impost on catches in falklands waters. So how you can say the falklands will “be responsible for the extraction of nearly half the migrating biomass on the South Atlantic” is beyond me, especially when argentina catches most of its illex squid earlier in the squids migration and are now seeking to extend their fleet by 20 jiggers and the fishing zone upto the 201 mile. That is not only a politically motivated move to strangle the falklands fishing industry, but also a sign that they have over fished current argentine fishing zones and need to extend further out to sea to make up for catch shortages in argentina's tradional fishing zones.
We all know Argentina has a nasty habit of overfishing - www.upi.com/Business_News/Energy-Resources/2010/05/20/Argentina-risks-losing-hake-market-amid-low-yield-overfishing/UPI-62831274386335/
You say:
”You can try to get the squid first, that's fair - just stay out of Falkland waters.”
I say:
Well….. We are in agreement….
Why don’t you tell that to British Squatters Mr. John Barton, Mr. Hamish Wylie or Mrs. Cheryl Roberts whining and crying about “Environmental Terrorism” through their Media Mouthpiece……???
There are several million Argentine squatters on Amerindian land according to your logic. But as they are not as efficient at managing that land as the Falkland Islanders are their's and I doubt the Spanish would want them back.
In insular Patagonia they are Squatters.
In continental Patagonia we call them “Settlers.”

Henry VIII just couldn't get enough fish and chips.
Keep up the good work brave and hardy Falkland Islanders and continue helping to feed the World.
The revenues are not enough to build apartments buildings, good hotels and good restaurants like found in Argentina. Poor islanders!.
Apartment buildings for whom? The islanders all have houses.
She knew how to teach those thieving Spanish colonialists.

And this game was lost in 1833 ! And again in 1982.
@9 There is one thing that is irrelevant. YOU!! No facts, just lies. You don't have any waters beyond mile 201. NO country has more than 200 miles of territorial waters. When have you ever met anyone less fortunate than yourself. In the asshole of the world!
@14 Do you think it is because the world recognises that no argie understands the word “legal”. Or, for that matter, how to act in compliance with law.
@17 Where is “insular” Patagonia? Tierra del Fuego?
@19 Seen pictures of your “apartments buildings, good hotels and good restaurants”. Mud streets, open sewers, cables for stealing power, black and white running rats. Probably shouldn't mention them! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villa_Miseria The true face of argieland!
You say:
“ And this game was lost in 1833 ! And again in 1982.”
I say...: Three totally different games, my dear lad....
First one, (1833) I wasn't yet around to analyse it.....
Second one, (1982) I analysed correctly....
Third one (2012/ ????) is ongoing....
Checkmate in 10 moves, lad....
Argie checkmate, of course....
Argie 'check-mate' sounds like a whole new definition of check-mate :-))
You won't be around for the next one “old man think”.
Anyway keep your buttocks clenched for more good oil news later this month.
Chuckle chuckle.
Patience young one, patience......
Things will quicken up when the Black Queen is lost.....
Only they never seem to deliver anything.
My guess woud be that Cristina will want to make a speech to the Assembly on its opening. Probably much the same as the one last year. Will she appear at the 4th ?? Well she went to the sub-sub C24, so the 4th is the only one that she hasn't spoken directly to. Why would she bother? Now that's easy. Argentina hasn't managed a GA Resolution since 1988 and for all the bleating about non-compliance they know that those old Resolutions are all as dead as your average Dodo.
Cristina needs a new one to show that her diplomatic (in the political sense) strategy is working. That's why she went to the C24 (and obviously for the publicity).
Cristina hasn't got much going for her at home these days, so she needs a win somewhere. A GA Resolution would do it for her, even though we know that they have little real power. A Resolution would give her some moral ground.
I wonder whether she'll manage it ??
Miles and miles of ocean to cross before you even get close ....and then what.... Shag a few sheep.......go on a Fox hunt?
Exactly. Nobody serious wants to take away the Falklanders' rights, but as a Brit myself I find our bad neighbourliness in South America embarassing
Yeah, right. It's really scandalous the way we bar ships from our ports, cut off airlinks, repudiate agreements, invade islands, and travel the world caterwauling how hard done by we are.
Who cares what our neighbours think?
For myself, l couldn't care less.
You have still to confirm your age as 80? Or is it GREATER than that.
Unfortunately for you, greater age does not bring greater wisdom looking at you feeble attempts on here.
You bunch take the squid first, what's left then goes into Falklands (there are STILL no Malvinas) waters for them to harvest. So it's the Argies fault if they cannot fish for what is clearly there.

You have still to confirm that you are in / from Glasgow.
Given the abject nonsense you spout because you cannot understand the simplest of concepts (or you are lying) how can the Falklanders catch deplete what Argentina catches when the squid migrate from their waters to the Falklands? You simply believe everything the likes of ‘I don't Think’ posts without any thought as to whether it is even logical.
Many on here have said you are an Argentinean troll and until now I have tended to give you the benefit of the doubt, but no longer.
Wet your knickers as much as you want over TMBOA, cry in your mate about the poor idle masses of Argentina, Venezuela and all the other tossers you adore because I no longer consider that you have even a vestige of credibility left.
Mind your own business rubbish bloody old english arse!
You are a bit early for day release.
You'd better get back to your padded cell before they discover you've gone.
Wackjob!
Thanks, Isolde.
