  • Deep sea fishing - that's working to the limit. The ships of the German deep sea fishing fleet often stay at sea for months. The hunt for the black halibut takes the team to the Arctic Circle. Storm and snow are part of everyday life here, work on board is dangerous. Great trust in their comrades and their own skills makes the crew a tight-knit community. This documentary accompanies the crew on board one of the largest deep-sea trawlers in the German fleet.

    This was fun. I have owned two commercial fishing vessels - crabbing boats. Usually it's just a 2 man crew and we go out each morning and come in each evening. While it was nowhere near the scale of operation seen in this video, still I could relate to a lot of what I saw.
    I was really relating to them getting the nets stuck in the propellers. Hey - it happens. I was scared when the engine stopped. It can be really dangerous when a boat has no power, whether big or small. I have experiences that are too hard to share.
    The best part was the teamwork and the camaraderie. Thanks for posting. Really cool.

    Here in Oregon at the beginning of the season the crab are everywhere, deep and shallow. Our season usually starts around December yet due to global warming it's changed, not starting this year until February 15th. Right now the crab are moving into the shallows. If you are catching a lot of shorts it probably means that the area has already been picked clean by the commercial fisherman. Meaning it's best to relocate.

    Amazing job. I really like challenges like this.
    And I want to ask the part of the main engine that died before, how the next process becomes the engine running again? Is it because of the propeller entangled in the net the cause?

    • @medea27
      @medea27 2 года назад +2

      Basically once the net was entangled & the props couldn't turn any more it would have triggered a 'kill switch' to stop the engines. Engines have these fail-safe systems to prevent damage to the propellers & engine if something does get stuck. In this case, they were lucky that no damage was done & once they removed the net it was OK to start up again 👍 But if the propeller shaft or blades were bent or got damaged they'd have to fix them before they could go anywhere.

    Back in the 80s I did Joint Venture fishing in the Bering Sea. I was the catcher boat and the Russians supplied a processing ship, and we split the catch. During Cod, and Yellow Fin Sole fishing I averaged a little over 100 tons a day. The processors can only do 100 tons a day. Winter fishing in the Bering, its real and its fun but, it isn't real fun.

    I read a lot of comments mostly criticism such as damage to environment, destruction of ecosystem, etc.. I would disagree because most of fishing in Europe are strictly regulated with allocated fishing quarters, fish types and zones. Environment damage, ecosystem destruction and overfishing are mostly done in underdeveloped countries across the globe where governments don't have means to guard their sea resources. This is evident especially across Africa from west of Mauritania, rounding up via south of Africa to East of Somalia. Overfishing there is catastrophic! It also happens to some countries in Asia and South America.
    These folks in the documentary meet the EU regulations imposed within their fishing region in Europe; otherwise they would not allow themselves to be filmed in a well-known documentary like this. Focus should be on those who break fishing laws & regulations in poor and underdeveloped countries.

      The current problems with the UK/EU fishing was caused by EU boats fishing in UK with their transponders switched off. The only reason to do so is to fish illegally, for high value catches, undersized fish or in areas that were restricted. This is the reality of your much vaunted EU regulated fishing. We are also seeing boats that have been granted a licence being sold (with the licence) and the skipper buying another boat, applying for another licence... rinse, repeat.
