I caught a good amount of it, and no, you can't deny it is a marvel..The one thing that amazed me, was out of like 10 million pounds of fish, (pollock) they only showed 3 by catch fish..THREE, talk about a huge pile of bull cacahhhhh.... I was astounded at the numbers of fish caught..that and they were tracking a "school" of pollock of approximatly 11 billion fish 35,000 sq nuatical miles...These modern supertrawlers can catch 400 tons of fish per tow.They can process 50-80 tons of surimi or fillets per day... The fact that they can process soooo many fish with so few people is terrible. The way it should be is less fish with more people..I was simply blown away by the whole thing..They also had a good section on UNH's Open Ocean Aquaculture project which was pretty informative. They showed their offshore Cod fish farm, as well as haddock,halibut, and blue mussels. They also showed a quick seg on UNH's study of lobsters in efforts to better manage New England's lobster fishery...

Used hard and put away dirty....
