Been months that our fishport had not unloaded tons of fish from the fishing boats. Where have the fish gone? At this time in the past loads of catch from the fishing vessel are unloaded and traded in the port. I am referring to the fish caught within our municipal waters not deep sea fishing.

@RubyHawk Now they feel the effect. They depleted the abundance of the ocean now they are facing the consequences.

Commercial fishing boats caught all the fish in the past even those spawning,

Hard to say. It could be that you need to either travel further to catch fish or wait.

They can't go deeper because their vessel is not suited for deep sea fishing.

@florelway Like I said, those are your options. The fish will repopulate, it might just take a little more time.

You're correct and the sea is facing terrible destruction.

That can be considered a factor too. Water temperature got something to do with it.

@florelway I have read yesterday about "new rocks" found on a deserted island. Those rocks are created by micro plastic that melted and mixed with sands and pepples.

I totally agree with you. The seas ate poisoned by the garbage we throw into the ocean.

@rakski The fish sulked and. looked for other areas. The capitalists had enriched themselves while the small farmers are now starving.

Yes, very sad...Imagine they only unload 20 banyeras and not everyday whereas in the past they unload hundred of banyeras everyday

That's bad news. Perhaps someone is fishing illegally? I remember the South Korean drama series I watched where fishermen couldn't catch some fish because a large company was illegally catching all the fish in a big industrial net. So even the younglings are caught and nothing is left to grow or breed. The local government should investigate to learn the cause of this incident. If not many people who depend on fishing as their livelihood would perish.

In a way they can be called. illegal fishing because they use fine gears thus catching the young and spawning.

With the passage of time the production get decreases...it is something like that the vegetables that were getting in some plot of land in the past was more than the vegetables that we are getting today. Actually our mother earth losing its fertility.

That is true. Looks like there was a collective edfort5on the school of fish to go somewhere where they cannot be caught.

I think the fishermen finally figured out fish are nasty and nobody should eat them. 
I hope you're having a good day today.

@DaddyEvil It was fine, I had answers ready supported by facts and figures. We ended the activity with a scrumptious lunch.

The fish that arrive in our fish port come from other parts of Mindanao outside Mis Or. but fish caught in municipal waters are gone.

There was a shortage of fish which could be due to several factors like fish dying because of industrial waste or small fish cannot spawn because they were prematurely harvested.

Times have changed, as for me I think it is because of global warming and climate change stuff.

That is one reason too... Maybe the water temperature is not ideal for them. and they. move. away.
