middle - aged baseball fanatic joe boyd , trades his soul to the devil , also known as mr . applegate , for a chance to lead his favorite team to victory in the pennant race against the new york yankees . as young baseball sensation , joe hardy , he transforms the hapless washington senators into a winning team , only to realize the true worth of the life that he ' s left behind . joe ultimately outsmarts applegate , returns to his former self and shepherds the senators to the world series .

batter up ! just in time for baseball season comes the muscular musical comedy about a red sox super - fan who is transformed into a star slugger after he makes a deal with the devil — and his sexy associate , lola . goodspeed re - imagines a broadway classic with a new red sox v . yankees spin that swings for the fences , no matter which team you root for . in the game of love and baseball , you gotta have " heart " — but watch out for " whatever lola wants . "

when they get there , washington is winning 5 - 4 at the top of the ninth . applegate swears washington will lose even if he has to change joe hardy back into joe boyd on the field . after two outs for the yankees , mickey mantle hits a long fly to joe hardy in right field . while joe hardy runs for the ball , applegate transforms him back into joe boyd just as the clock strikes nine . joe boyd gives one last lunge and catches the ball , winning the pennant for the senators !

lola finds joe hardy in limbo and guides him to the stadium where the senators are losing 4 - 0 to the yankees . she stalls a fanatic applegate in limbo by putting on a pseudo - romantic routine for which he almost falls ( two lost souls ) . suddenly , applegate returns to his senses and realizes he has a game to throw . not only will he have joe hardy for keeps but also the forty thousand senators fans who would die to see washington win the pennant . lola tries to escape , not wanting to be there when applegate throws the game . however , applegate takes her to the game , furious at her betrayal .

the next day , after a discouraging practice with many errors ( blooper ballet ) , benny van buren , the team manager , gives his team a pep talk , saying the thing that they really need against the yankees is heart . during the practice , applegate has arrived and tries to demonstrate joe hardy ' s talents before van buren . his impressive hitting and fielding give van buren and the senators no choice but to accept him on the team . while joe hardy is taken up to meet the commissioner , gloria thorpe , a reporter from the washington post , conspires with the team on how to make shoeless joe from hannibal , mo well - known to the public .

scene 6 : applegate gets together with lola , his female assistant . she reports success on her last assignment ; she ruined a man ' s life and got him to jump out a window . applegate , who actually wants the yankees to win , has called her in to help with joe . he fears joe ' s escape clause may endanger his evil plot . he plans to let senators ' fans believe their team can win until the last minute . then he will pull the rug out from under them by letting the team lose , causing the fans to have heart attacks , apoplexy , or commit suicide . he wants lola to make joe forget meg . she assures him she is the woman for the job ( " a little brains , a little talent " ) .

scenes 2 and 3 : in the washington senators ' dugout , the team ' s manager , van buren , is encouraging his players to keep trying to win against the yankees . his players have talent but they also need one essential ingredient for success : " heart . " as they leave , reporter gloria thorpe enters to interview van buren . applegate convinces van buren to let joe try out for the team . joe amazes the team with his skills , and is hired . while applegate insists he found joe in hannibal , missouri playing sandlot ball , reporter gloria probes to learn more about him . in the meantime , joe has to borrow a pair of shoes - his old shoes are too tight for him . gloria decides to make him famous : she nicknames him " shoeless joe from hannibal , mo . "

d amn yankees is the only successful musical comedy built around the american national pastime of baseball - - the baseball story neatly combined with the age - old faust theme . joe hardy is a middle - aged , happily married baseball fan . he is found in his living - room watching a game over the television . joe is in the depths of despair , for his favorite team , the washington senators , seems incapable of getting a winning stride . suddenly the devil , in the person of applegate , visits him with a proposition : would joe be willing to trade his soul if the senators won not only the pennant but also the world series ? joe is more than willing ; he has never put much stock in his soul in the first place . suddenly joe sheds years . more than that , he has magically acquired singular powers as a baseball player . meanwhile , van buren , manager of the senators , tries to build up his team ' s morale ( " heart " ) . it is a hopeless job , for the senators can hardly expect that their new rookie , joe hardy , could be of any use in lifting them from their habitual doldrums . but joe proves the spark plug necessary to send the team flying at full speed for victory after victory .

before the opening night , this production garnered an unusual amount of publicity , mostly centered on namath . the press kindly played down the fact that he tried to launch a movie career several years ago with dim results . his onstage prospects don ' t look too much brighter , judging from his showing at the jones beach marine theater .

namath is a likable performer , and that ' s important for the role of a dumb , pure , lovable joe hardy . without question , he had the opening - night audience totally on his side , every step of the way .

but that ' s not enough . his acting was a lot flatter than his personality , and his dancing was more like organized walking . as for his singing - - this is a musical , after all - - it ' s best left undescribed . major leaguer - cumcrooner tony conigliaro reminded us back in the ' 60s that sports and show biz are very different ball games . namath needs a lot more time in training before his voice is ready to turn pro .

the rest of the production is more solid . eddie bracken is strong and sometimes very funny as the devilish mr . applegate , the tempter of the table , and susan elizabeth scott is appealing as lola , his right - hand person . special credit goes to alyson reed as a spunky sports reporter . she acts with gusto , and dances up the proverbial storm . the chorus is first - rate in all the production numbers .

perhaps to offset namath ' s limitations , director frank wagner plays the production much closer to the audience than is customary at the jones beach theater . by contrast with previous years , the result is almost intimate - - if such a word can be used for this vast amphitheater , which is impersonal under the best of circumstances .

unfortunately , opening night was beset by acoustic problems : the voices were unevenly miked , and sometimes could barely be heard . maybe it ' s unfair for namath to be plopped onstage under such unconventional conditions . then again , the sheer size of the place probably helps his performance by eliminating any need for subtlety . in any case , shoeless joe from hannibal , mo . , is hardly a complex character . namath simply fails to do much with him .

the show itself holds up pretty well after all these years . such musical numbers as " whatever lola wants , " " two lost souls , " and " heart " are as fetching as ever , and only " who ' s got the pain " seems as hopelessly dated as the mambo craze that inspired it . the dialogue is often silly and many of the jokes are thin , but the " shoeless joe " production number was rousing , and so was " those were the good old days , " even though microphone problems sabotaged bracken ' s bravura showmanship here . this is still a clever musical , even if the jones beach decision to keep the ballplaying entirely offstage - - including the climax of the plot - - was disappointing .

tuna wranglers ( 2007 ) is a documentary film produced by the makers of deadliest catch .

it follows the exploits of the southern bluefin tuna industry in south australia as it captures wild fish and transports them to grow-out pens where the fish are fattened up for sale to the japanese market .

it features footage of fishermen diving into tuna pens to wrestle sharks in order to protect their multimillion-dollar stock .

the film was directed and produced by mark strickson for television and has also been released on dvd in several regions .

critics of the film noted the omission of the southern bluefin tuna 's conservation status and the incongruous casting of an american narrator given the exclusively australian cast and story .

the film was produced by nhnz for the discovery channel .

a year after its release , the film was acknowledged by the southern bluefin tuna industry as having helped raise its public profile and boosted related tourism activity in the town of port lincoln .

tuna wranglers

tuna wranglers <EOT> this entry was posted in other fisheries , television , tuna wranglers . bookmark the permalink .

interest in the tuna industry has been spiked , says mr waller , by two documentaries tuna cowboys and tuna wranglers , and the successes of tony santic and that other famous tuna fisherman , olympic gold - medal - winning weightlifter dean lukin .

at the airport , a life - size tuna greets arrivals , and during the annual tunarama festival , spectators watch the “world famous” tuna toss competition . documentaries such as tuna cowboys and tuna wranglers have profiled the wealthy anglers who call port lincoln home .

of tuna stocks , which is as good a reason to go light on tuna as any mercury content .

most of the sharks were provided by professional wranglers , but sometimes a few wild ones were attracted by the bait . blanchard ryan jokingly referred to them as " the non - union sharks . "

all right guys . where are they ? i know there are plenty of experts out there . have they came and went ? passed us by ? depleted by the tuna wranglers ? weather related ? is it gonna happen this year ? i ' m really just looking for some tuna talk since there are no catch reports to talk about .

however , while tuna aquaculture is touted as an ecologically friendly way to meet the insatiable demands of the japanese sashimi market , there’s evidence that tuna are actually floundering .

tuna , especially bluefin tuna , are scarce . each fish , we ' re told , is worth about us $ 70 , 000 . a full complement of fish can be worth us $ 20 million . most of the tuna is exported to japan .

while it certainly doesn’t have the depth or excitement of the most excellently developed fan favorite , deadliest catch , the first episode of tuna wranglers seems promising in that much like the previously mentioned deadliest catch , it introduces many of us to a part of this world we’re not so familiar with . who would have thought really , that fishing for tuna involved not only the actual tuna fishing vessel , but a floating aquarium that basically heads out to deep waters with the sole purpose of throwing baitfish in tuna infested waters to guide them towards the tuna catching boat . and prior to the baiting and rounding up of tuna , a spotter plane flys out to sea and spots the large shadows that tuna schools create . after the tuna is “wrangled” into their initial netting , yet another vessel is on the scene with a permanent caged nettings that is used to haul in the harvest and house them for several months while they are fattened up .

according to an interview with blanchard ryan , producers chris kentis and laura lau spent nearly half of the budget to get stuart cove and his shark wranglers for two days , and to make sure the two actors would be completely safe around the sharks .

it looks like the blue fin tuna season runs all year , but the purse seine fishery that we witnessed in the new mini series , tuna wranglers , runs from january through march…”the sbt fishing year runs from 1 december to 30 november each year . for the purse seine fishery , fishing for grow out farms occurs from january – march . longlining for sbt occurs primarily in winter months off southern nsw and to a lesser extent off southern wa”

but if i was a tuna , i would try to eat as much mercury as i could . seems like that might be the only way to keep some tuna in the sea .

we know the tuna are in real trouble–worldwide , the bluefin population has plunged more than 90 percent in the last 30 years . just before the november conference on setting tuna quotas happened last year ,

30lb bluefin tuna ' s caught barehanded . if the site of blood is not for you , look away

i saw a tv show about tuna wranglers who catch them small and then grow them in captivity . i wonder if that might be of help in protecting the wild population . also , i am still thinking about your post on using bug meal instead of fish meal to grow fish . it would be great to see that take off to help bring population numbers go back up ! dave briggs : ~ )

a crowd forms a circle in the protected waters of encounter bay to peacefully protest the oceanic victor tuna attraction .

is wrestling sharks in your job profile ? it takes a certain kind of person to willingly jump into a tuna pen 120 miles offshore , wrestle deadly sharks out with their bare hands and live to tell the tale - but for south australia ' s tuna fishermen , it ' s all in a day ' s work . from the makers of deadliest catch comes the hit series profiling australia ? s toughest fishermen : tuna wranglers . the mighty southern ocean has long been a shipping graveyard , with monstrous waves powering across the remote seascape . but each year , the fishermen take up a unique challenge : to spend two months rounding up , caging and dragging home millions of dollars worth of live southern bluefin tuna to fatten up , and sell to the lucrative japanese market .

many of the southern bluefin tuna raised by australia’s aquaculture industry end up at the tsukiji market in tokyo , japan .

so i ' m flipping through the channels and land on the discovery channel . some show called tuna wranglers . i settle in and listen to them describe one of their jobs , you will not believe it . apparently , sharks love to get into tuna nets . the tuna nets are these giant nets that are positioned in the ocean . the nets are static and just sit there for a while , until they fill up with tuna . anyways , how do you think these tuna wranglers get the sharks out ? these crazy - looney - stark - raving - mad people jump into the nets and wrestle the sharks . that ' s right , man vs sharks . the sharks are approximately the same size as the man , give or take a hundred pounds here or there . usually it is two men vs one shark but occassionally it is one on one . these men ( and i thought i was manly ) grab the sharks by the torso , then pull up on their snouts , and manhandle the sharks forcing them out of the nets . i ' m watching these crazies right now . in a word . holy f - ing shit batman ! has anyone seen this show ? what are your thoughts ? mel . . .

instead , the battle over the attraction has exposed a general rift about the much - lauded , and valuable , industry it symbolizes—tuna aquaculture in australia—sparking accusations of governmental kowtowing to the tuna ranchers and doubts about the fishery’s true level of sustainability .

organizer nisa schebella addresses a crowd gathered in victor harbor to protest oceanic victor , a swim - with - tuna attraction .

but hold up . there is a problem . in all this conversation , there has been almost no mention of the current dismal status of tuna stocks , which is as good a reason to go light on tuna as any mercury content . .

whats a tuna ? ? my boat has been pulled , sitting in bishopville all cleaned up ready to go fishin for linesiders . unless someone shouts tuna well stick her back in the big muddy . someone please go 18 for 18 yft already ! bill

the fishing process is fascinating – the ships can be out for weeks at a time . one ship looks for the tuna and baits them ( throws sardines overboard to move the school in the direction desired ) , another deploys the purse seine nets around the school of tuna , and a third boat transfers the tuna from the nets to holding pens , and tows the pens full of live tuna back to port . a spotter plane also looks for tuna sunbathing near the surface – they need the sun to warm them in order to allow them to digest their food as fast as possible . we loved the cgi animations showing the fishing process .

while the frigid bering sea waters is the greatest threat to the crab fishermen we’ve all become acquainted with in the last three years on discovery’s deadliest catch , the tuna wranglers who ply the much warmer ocean waters off the southern australian coast face a danger i have yet to see any commercial fishermen contend with . and that of course , is sharks . it was both shocking to learn and mesmerizing to see that when a shark tears through the massive net containing trapped tuna , a trained fisherman / diver has to actually dive down into the contained tuna area and literally wrestle the shark until said shark decides it’s had enough of this hand to hand combat , and leaves through the same hole it came in . just how much does that position pay ? pretty interesting stuff .

i agree tuna wranglers is a bit of an over the top american documentary , but you should suss out the award - winning kiwi doco made for the national geographic channel , tuna cowboys , as it is far more down to earth . southern bluefin stocks are still depleted in aussie waters , but strict quota levels are seeing them slowly beginning to recover . i ' ve worked as a commercial fisherman , as well as being a recreational angler , and it ' s the latter that needs more regulation because at present there is little information availble on how many sbt are taken by rec anglers . a pdf you might find interesting . urltoken

today , tuna aquaculture is one of australia’s fastest growing sectors ; about 15 tuna ranching companies operate in south australia , bringing in between $ 114 and $ 227 million annually . ( compare that to canada , where the entire country’s commercial tuna industry is only worth $ 17 million . ) pioneers of the ranching method became rich and put port lincoln on the map as a leader in sustainable seafood production .

no cg was used in this movie . director chris kentis fed the sharks tuna to get real feeling of the main characters being in the ocean together with the sharks . as long as they were eating the tuna they didn ' t harm blanchard ryan and daniel travis .

the waters off port lincoln are dotted with roughly 100 pontoons , operated by 12 companies , where tuna are fattened up before they’re harvested .

tuna are unloaded at a wharf in port lincoln , south australia . the town has the highest number of millionaires per capita in the country .

i got a citation yellowfin on sunday , but that was the only one we boated . seems that there are more wahoo out there than tuna

tuna are also notoriously difficult to breed . the young are especially fragile and sensitive to water temperature , currents , and changes in their environment . the ranchers’ reliance on juvenile wild stock means that tuna are possibly being caught before they can reproduce . and although the quota system was developed to ensure the long - term survival of the species , it’s managed by the same industry that profits from it . tuna ranch operators are rarely subject to independent third - party assessments . the result , says university of technology sydney researcher kate barclay , who specializes in the sustainable development of tuna fisheries , is systemic overfishing and false counting .

in the film we get to see marcus stehr , an owner of the stehr group which is one of the major players in australia ' s tuna industry . marcus ' german - born father , hagen stehr , founded the company in 1969 , when tuna was still fairly abundant in the waters off south australia .

mr waller met one of the old tuna fishermen on the street the other day . when mr waller said he had tuna in pens for tourists to swim with , the reply was , well , very much one of fisherman . " why would you want to do that when you can catch them ? " he asked .

perhaps the notoriously shy but extremely wealthy tuna fishermen of port lincoln  a town with the highest number of millionaires per capita in the country , thanks to the southern bluefin tuna fishery  would not approve of this rubber - necking circuit of their marina . but the times are changing and the other locals are fishing for the tourism dollar .

matt waller , a former skipper on the tuna fleet , has set up his bluefin pen in boston bay , off port lincoln . while the tuna are worth about $ 1100 each , they won ' t be eaten or sold . instead , he takes tourists to see the great fish up close : people can swim with them as they dart around eating pilchards . the tuna are about a metre long , smoky black , muscle - bound and capable of swimming in bursts of up to 70 kilometres an hour .

over the years , nhnz diversified its programming away from just natural history . it gradually expanded its genres to cover health ( kill or cure series ) ; science ( x = force the science of . . . series ; mega disasters series ) ; adventure ( adventure central series ) ; and people ( tribal life series ; the diva mummy ) . in tuna wranglers , nhnz tested the waters of the current popularity of reality shows about the daily lives of blue - collar workers pitting themselves against nature in extreme environments . engineering programmes have also proven popular with the company making a string of shows from asia and china under the man made marvels and megastructures banners .

national documentaries channel thanks for watching ! comment anything as ud like ! tuna cowboys is an award winning national geographic documentary that ventures into the southern ocean to capture the first ever footage of the southern blue fin tuna muster . produced and directed by mike bhana at natural history new zealand , motion pacific provided topside camera and field director services to the project .

hi chris . interesting questions . i’ll have to try and do a little research on this type of tuna fishing . it would be interesting to see a couple more episodes too .

ranching southern bluefin tuna has been a big - ticket industry in south australia for years . one company hopes that inviting tourists to swim with the fish will prove successful , too .

over two weeks , the fish are towed in the net behind the boat at a glacial pace to spencer gulf , near port lincoln , before being transferred to “ranches . ” for the next three to six months , the tuna live in large pens—each containing between 2 , 200 and 3 , 500 fish—where they’re plumped up on a steady diet of high - fat sardines . once ready for market , the tuna are shipped by freezer boats or live airfreight to their final destination , usually japan . a single pen full of tuna can net upward of $ 2 million .

one of the tuna fishermen , sam sarin , has also built a four - star hotel at port lincoln which is run , among others , by adelaide crows players mark ricciuto and simon goodwin .

as you can see even my e - mail address is about fishing your show is great . i do alot of fishing off the new jersey coast tuna are around about three months of the year .

i just want to know what the name of the little town was that they brought the tuna into … . . ya know , where they had that little pub and they got their drink on .

after they hatch , young southern bluefin tuna are swept along the coast of western australia from their spawning grounds near indonesia . some that continue east , into the great australian bight , are captured for aquaculture .

while waiting for season 2 of deadliest catch to arrive , tony and i watched this . it’s just two 45 minute episodes , and it concerns the tuna fishermen off south australia . it’s another discovery channel offering .

but the turkey meeting actually increased the quota for bluefin tuna by 1 , 000 tonnes ( for a total quota of nearly 30 , 000 t ) . carl safina agrees : this decision was : stupid , stupid .

while the tuna fishermen have been supportive and keen that their industry is portrayed well , mr waller says they have little interest in showing tourists around their farms ; it would only be a distraction to the business of exporting sashimi - grade tuna to the japanese , who pay hundreds , often thousands , of dollars a fish . " that leaves it open for people like us to show tourists what the industry is about , " he said .

while the region is also known for shellfish such as abalone and mussels , and the oyster industry alone is estimated to be worth $ 22 million , it’s most famous for southern bluefin tuna , port lincoln’s pearl . a single tuna—later transformed into as many as 10 , 000 pieces of sushi—can sell for $ 2 , 500 at tokyo’s famous tsukiji market . ( in 2013 , one fish that was considered auspicious reportedly sold for $ 1 . 76 million . )

but while aquaculture typically has a lower environmental footprint than traditional commercial fishing methods , tuna is an exception . the species’ feed conversion ratio is exceptionally low compared to other farmed fish ; a tuna needs to chow down on as much as six times more food than a salmon does . australia catches more than 38 , 000 tonnes of sardines every year just to satiate the demands of port lincoln’s fisheries , making sardines the most heavily fished species in the country .

and this just in : seafood industry consultants predict that u . s . per capita seafood consumption will hit a record 16 . 8 pounds per person when 2007 numbers are officially released later this year . doesn’t seem like anyone is doing too much sacrificing–for mercury content or otherwise . but if i was a tuna , i would try to eat as much mercury as i could . seems like that might be the only way to keep some tuna in the sea .

the little tour boat idles outside one of the many mansions in south australia ' s port lincoln marina . this particular waterside palace stretches across three blocks and belonged to tony santic , tuna millionaire and owner of champion horse makybe diva .

im a tuna lover , eat it , fish it . i think what these guys are doing is kinda wrong , i know it makes there living and all but i feel like they get very greedy . does anyone else agree ?

the question of the scarcity of bluefin tuna , and the impact that the current fishing practices are having on these incredible fish is not dealt with in this series at all . i imagine it’d put a serious damper on all that australian enthusiasm…

this is a fascinating look at the tuna fishing process , and eye - opening as far as the amounts of money that are spent to find , catch and rear these incredible fish . in comparison to the crab fishermen of alaska , the fishing process is child’s play in terms of safety and working conditions . the deck hands on the bait boat don’t seem to do anything more physically strenuous than toss handfuls of sardines overboard once the tuna have been located . boredom seems to be the biggest challenge .

( discovery channel , 2007 ) gives you a lot of useful information about the bluefin tuna fishing industry in australia . but with an american - accented narrator and a goofy cowboy theme , the film does a pretty fair job of alienating an australian viewer .

southern bluefin tuna are thus caught on the continental shelf south of australia when they weight 15 - 20 kilograms ( at an age of about 2 years ) . they are transferred from the giant purse seine nets into holding pens while out at sea , and the pens are then towed back to port lincoln in south australia – very slowly . there the tuna are transferred to farm pens ( ranches ! ) , and fattened up for a couple of years until they weigh 30 - 40 kilograms . the fish are then caught – by hand , by divers , to avoid damaging them – in the pens , flash frozen , and shipped to japan . this is big money – a large , perfect tuna ( unbruised and unmarked ) fetches thousands and thousands of dollars in japan .

“we’re actually getting increases in quotas because the population is so robust , ” says kirsten rough , a research scientist with the australian southern bluefin tuna industry association . just last december , port lincoln’s fishing industry was awarded sustainability accreditation by the ngo friend of the sea .

who would have ever thought tuna fishing was such an interesting and complex process ? the premier episode of the 2 - part mini series aired august 9th at 1opm eastern and the second episode airs on the 16th . there will be repeats towards the end of this month .

now visitors to port lincoln  on south australia ' s eyre peninsula  can tour the marina and swim with bluefin tuna in a pen not unlike those the fishermen use to fatten their stocks ( after the fish are caught in the ocean in nets and towed carefully back ) .

behind the boy’s snorkel mask is a look of sheer glee . it’s the kind of look stehr and dyer hope to elicit from many more people when they launch their swim - with - tuna operation in victor harbor , a small coastal town and tourist hub over 700 kilometers away .

it should . the film is ultimately a lost opportunity . given a less sensational tone and a more challenging script , it could have advertised the downside of harvesting tuna from the southern ocean . instead , it merely glorifies a bunch of very ordinary guys who just happen to be fishermen .

a handful of sardines is tossed into the water . and another . the little fish vanish as other , much bigger fish rocket up from the murky black depths to gobble them . the tuna slice through the water with the precision and speed befitting their nickname , “ferraris of the ocean . ”

to the average bystander , oceanic victor may seem as bizarre as it is controversial . sure , we swim with dolphins , sharks , rays and a whole host of other marine creatures—but tuna ? dip your head in the water and watch an 80 - kilogram fish whip toward you at highway speeds and you’ll quickly understand the appealing mix of terror and exhilaration . australia’s tuna industry may be poised to change at the same breakneck speed , but one thing will always hold true : for as long as south australia is located by the sea , the livelihood of its people will depend on fishing and tourism . balancing the demand for one species with the negative ripple effects of that demand will always be a challenge . critics and proponents will be waiting for the final ruling on oceanic victor’s fate in victor harbor later this month to see which way , this time , the tuna scales will tip .

“they went through the process and got a tick box for an aquaculture license—even though it’s in … a habitat protection zone . so what’s to stop it from happening in the future ? ” says one conservationist , who asked not to be named . “when [ the tuna industry ] says ‘jump , ’ the government jumps . ”

the pedigrees of oceanic victor’s owners add to the suspicion . yasmin stehr’s father , hagen , made millions with clean seas , his fishing company based in port lincoln . her partner , dyer , is the operations manager of tony’s tuna international , another industry heavyweight , and oceanic victor is co - owned by “tony” himself , tony santic .

the protesters’ fixation on sharks has helped keep the opposition a front - page news item , but is detracting from what could be their strongest argument—in an era when seaworld’s profits are crashing and tourists are increasingly questioning whether animals should be kept in pens for entertainment , swimming with tuna is an antiquated approach to how we interact with wildlife .

cheers… right now i´m without a job , sandly i got problems with my papers and it seems i´m going to lose the king crab season with the f / v bering sea , and become a tuna wrangler seems fun meanwhile i can go back crabbing . can you give me more information of the main harbor were those guys do the offload ?

in 1993 , the three nations responsible for 80 percent of the catch—australia , japan and new zealand—rallied . they agreed to a yearly quota system , managed by the commission for the conservation of southern bluefin tuna ( ccsbt ) , in an effort to curb the decline . the restrictions inspired creativity : how , the australian fishermen wondered , to produce more meat with fewer fish ?

a boy pops his head up from the water . “is this real life ? ” he screams from the floating fish pen . it’s a weekday in port lincoln , australia , and bluefin tuna purveyors yasmin stehr and michael dyer are playing hooky with family and friends . they’re testing out their latest commercial venture , oceanic victor , which focuses on the coveted bluefin—not as food , but as entertainment .

before stehr and dyer took over the floating tuna tank and made plans to relocate it , a similar operation ran without objection in port lincoln for years . the polarity in public opinion boils down to this : the people of port lincoln were naturally more open to the attraction because it’s emblematic of their livelihoods . as many as 4 , 000 of the 14 , 900 or so residents work in the fishing industry .

the ccsbt claims the quota system is working . evidence from aerial surveys , tagging and data projections suggests that tuna have rebounded to about 9 percent of their original spawning biomass , up from the low of 3 percent . by 2035 , ccsbt predicts , the wild stock will have returned to 20 percent of its original spawning biomass . that estimate may seem underwhelming , but it’s enough to make the commission reassess its policies .

complete aquaculture of tuna ( rearing them from larval stages to adult ) has proved difficult for several reasons . tuna are extremely active – they have incredibly fast metabolisms , eat prodigiously , and swim long distances ( their bodies are maginficently put together for swimming ) . simulating their natural environment in a pen is almost impossible ( much like rock lobster ) . they require high - energy food , and lots of it , making farming them an expensive proposition . they are also notoriously reluctant to spawn in captivity , which defeats the purpose of farming them ! the fish are delicate and manhandling them to extract eggs manually or check their state of sexual maturity decreases their value on the open market . finally , there are concerns that fish that escape from captivity may act differently to wild fish , and carry parasites and viruses that could decimate wild populations should they become exposed to them .

researchers at kindai university in japan have demonstrated that industry can be a powerful driver of conservation , too . with the financial support of the domestic fishing industry , they’ve recently developed the technology to breed pacific bluefin tuna , closing the lifecycle . in due time , the technology will likely be adopted in the port lincoln area , reducing the industry’s reliance on wild - caught fish—and potentially affecting the entire industry’s balance of supply , demand and valuation .

tuna can only be spotted when the sea is flat , and while the ocean south of australia is cold and temperamental , in general the bering sea where the crab fishermen make a living makes it look like my bathtub – before i climb in ! the most dangerous part of the whole trip is entering lincoln bay with the incoming tide , site of dangerous reef where peter gimbel and company found great white sharks during the filming of blue water , white death .

you probably know what happened . marian burros wrote an article about mercury in sushi tuna that got on the front page of the january 23rd new york times . blogs ( including this one ) peddled it . later nytimes articles espoused its findings , though said sushi - lovers would ignore them . the fishing industry cried factual errors ( they wrote a letter to the new york times citing five ) and indeed , this correction is now appended to the original article :

it ' s in the waters of the great australian bight that the action takes place . all the main elements of fishing are described on video , from the bait boat which attracts and herds the school of tuna , to the spotter plane , to the divers who manage the catch in enormous nets that are towed out to sea and back , and that contain the juvenile bluefin before they are unloaded to holding pens off the boats ' home town of port lincoln .

for critics of oceanic victor and the industry at large , such as nisa schebella , a protestor from victor harbor , putting people into a pen to swim with the species is overexploiting an already beleaguered species . it’s one thing to keep highly migratory animals in a pen for food—it’s another to do it solely for frivolity . “the more i research , the more i’m bamboozled by the whole fishing industry at large and its dismissal of tuna’s critically endangered status , ” she says .

during a shoot in 2007 , however , one researcher gave fischer a frightening reality check : " while we were helping these scientists , one of them looked at me and said , ' man , if we lose our giant sharks , we ' re not gonna have any billfish or tuna or anything else because they ' re the balance keepers and we don ' t know enough about their lives to create their future . they ' re just too big to catch . ' "

it ' s a documentary , but it ' s not a great documentary . drama here is very often manufactured for effect , an unfortunate measure which ultimately devalues the material and makes you regret the hokey , down - home narrative that drives the story forward . tuna fishermen make good money . they ' re not in it for the love of it . it ' s not " in their blood " , as the narrative imputes at one stage near the end of the film .

the proposal oceanic victor presented in 2015 was an easy sell for the victor harbor council . worth $ 2 . 4 billion , tourism in south australia is even bigger business than tuna , but victor harbor has been struggling to attract its share of attention . so council fast - tracked the application and oceanic victor received its aquaculture license and approvals from both the victor harbor council and the state government to lease a section of water in the encounter bay marine park , a protected area .

when compared to the fishing practices that nearly decimated the tuna population , it’s undeniable that aquaculture is a necessary alternative . industry spokespeople are justified in boasting about how they’ve reduced by - catch by eliminating longlining , yet they overlook an important point—pens take a toll on the environment , too . ranches collectively release 1 , 946 tonnes of nitrogen every year—a common stressor in marine ecosystems , known to promote algal growth and smother marine life—making them the largest industrial contributor of pollution to the spencer gulf .

the solution was floating feedlots . each year , the fish travel from their spawning grounds off northwest australia in the indian ocean south and then east to the reefs of the great australian bight to feed , making them an easy target . between december and march , fishermen capture around 5 , 500 tonnes of wild juvenile tuna—roughly 367 , 000 fish—using a purse seine method , which involves encircling a school with a weighted fishing net and then cinching it closed at the bottom , like an underwater drawstring bag .

once on the brink of bankruptcy , the community is reveling in its good fortune . the southern bluefin tuna , a highly migratory fish found in the atlantic , indian , and pacific oceans , has been heavily targeted since the 1950s . just 20 years ago , both the species and the fishery were staring down extinction . australian fishermen had begun to reel in as little as 5 , 000 tonnes annually—20 , 000 tonnes less than just three decades earlier . as little as 3 percent of the original southern bluefin population remained .

every year , endangered migratory southern right whales use the bay as a nursery . any increase to predators means that whales may pass by , putting both their population and the town’s main tourism draw at risk . while experts think it’s unlikely that sharks from outside the local area will be attracted to the pen , the same can’t be said of long - nosed fur seals , which have a taste for tuna meat . if attracted to the area , the seals are also likely to hunt and decimate the vulnerable population of little penguins in the area .

within a few months of stehr and dyer applying for permits , there was public uproar in victor harbor . in december 2015 , the same month oceanic victor was scheduled to open , 83 objections were lodged against the proposal , citing concerns that the pen—identical to the kind used in tuna aquaculture—would cause danger to other species and environmental degradation . local businesses hung protest fliers in their windows , opponents circulated a petition , and the lifeguards erected a massive banner across their watchtower . by mid - february , protesters had filed four separate appeals against oceanic victor , stalling its launch .

a chart with the continuation of a front - page article on wednesday about high mercury levels found in tuna sushi in new york stores and restaurants referred imprecisely to what the environmental protection agency deems to be an acceptable level of mercury consumption over a period of several months by an adult of average weight . the agency uses the phrase “reference dose” to refer to the daily level of mercury consumption it considers acceptable for a long - term diet ; it does not use the phrase “weekly reference dose . ” ( to find the acceptable weekly level of consumption over the long term , the reference dose is multiplied by seven . )

i had sushi for since when i was age of 7 , i never ever had any problem at all . it was tuna and about mercury thing ! ! ! in japan , no death from eating sushi since year of 1822 for over 150 years ! please do not get too sensetive about it , but you much find out where it was caming from and where it was cought first . see , we japanese still have a longest human life avarage rate in the world . because myabe we drink hot green tea after every meals we have in japan . that is the main reason , we do not have much of over weighted person in entire japan , see .

hi , i would love to someday work at sea as a tuna wrangler . watching these guys do what they do looks extremely fun and exciting ! i have no idea how to obtain such a position . i love scuba diving , spearfishing and have had years of experience being in the ocean and handling all kinds of marine life . i’m not afraid of sharks and being in the water with a wet suit on and carrying a spear gun would be a dream come true . especially when you get paid for doing something you love ! if i could have some information on how i can apply for a job such as this , or anything that would help me reach this goal that would be greatly appreciated ! i bet there are many people who love to have this sort of career but to me it would be a dream come true ! thanks !

the pens are essentially giant nets , closed at the bottom , with floats around the rim . divers have to check the nets for breakages , monitor the conditions of the fish , and ( occasionally ) deal with sharks who bite their way in , understandably attracted to a giant floating lunchbox of tuna goodness . they either shoot them ( last resort ) or wrestle them out of the pen by hand . bronze whalers are the most common invaders . the underwater footage of the pens and of the divers working in them is magnificent – crystal clear water , thousands of incredible , sleek fish , and a sense of space yet security . the divers are tethered to the surface so that they can maintain radio contact with the boat ( they wear full face masks ) and for air supply , or free dive . there are many ways to get tangled on things , so if they’re on scuba they wear their cylinders ( for emergencies ) upside down with the pillar valve pointing downwards to minimise that risk . as some of the divers said , they can’t believe they get paid to dive , because they enjoy it so much .

how much does this position pay ? this seems really interesting to me and i have been considering to be one of these when i grow older . i have been fishing since i was 11 and i love fighting bass on my rod . just how they jump out of the water and splash everywhere . it gives you a real big adrenaline rush as you thumb - him and hold him up as a real accomplishment . i also like catching trout to cook them up and eat them later . i don’t mind pan fish either . can any one give me a real good introduction to this position please ? it would be very much appreciated , thank you !

i lived in western australia for a year and i can tell you those jobs are very difficult to get . it was commonly said in perth if you are not italian ( you need to speak it ) then you have no chance getting a job on a lobster boat . i would suspect if you are not from the area and don’t know the families who run these businesses you will not work for them . sad but true , it’s never what you know , it’s who you know . still it was a really cool series .

there is one good looking man aboard the kingfish . . uh . . i think iyt is called kingfish ? he is so hot i saw him today and he was sitting behind a table with others had a green t - shirt on . he had his sunglasses on top of his head and one other time he was cooking ? does anyone know his name or email address ?

once the catch are brought to the small port located at the mouth of spencer gulf , a fisheries boat draws up alongside and inspectors board the main boat . they sample the catch by hooking and weighing 40 fish . this gives them an average weight . then a camera is set up at the mouth of the holding pen before the fish are herded into it . an inspector counts the number of fish . this number is multiplied by the average weight to establish whether the catch exceeds the stehr group ' s annual allocation .

unfortunately , we didn ' t get to see the inspector ' s decision . it was removed by the film ' s editor . for marcus stehr and his crew , exceeding the catch is a problem because it means they must tow the excess fish back out to sea and release them .

but the fishermen already have some idea while still out at sea about the size of the catch . once the fish have been encircled by the purse seine net and its bottom has been cinched , completely enclosing the fish , and the fish have been transferred to the transportation enclosure , the lead diver enters the enclosure and visually gauges the size of the fish .

if the lead diver says the fish are large enough to be profitably taken , the boats either go for the next catch or return to port .

of course , the film completely sides with the fishermen and conservation of the fish gets no mention at all . the boys ' undertaking is given an heroic cast in the narrative . they ' re sea - going cowboys who wrangle sharks out of the nets by hand and endure months at sea . the film says nothing about the scarcity of the fish .

“we were blindsided , ” says stehr , later adding , “we thought that we were the good guys coming in with an educational facility . ”

yet port lincoln , a winding 8 - hour drive from victor harbor , isn’t exactly what springs to mind when you say “fishing town . ” beyond the city’s agricultural outskirts , wealth subtly glimmers . evenly spaced palms line the road to the lincoln cove marina , home to the largest fishing fleet in the southern hemisphere , an indoor pool , and a four - star hotel . just down the street , glossy suvs sit in front of new condominiums on roads with names like “laguna drive . ” and the archetype grizzled fisherman is nowhere to be found : the “seafood capital of australia” is reported to have the most millionaires per capita in the country .

while the method of aquaculture has since been adopted along mexico and in the mediterranean sea to raise northern bluefin and atlantic bluefin , port lincoln remains the only place in the world where southern bluefin are ranched . it’s also the only place that doesn’t catch southern bluefin by longlining , a controversial commercial fishing method that uses a long hooked line to trawl waters and often kills other species in the process .

“the future is not the internet ; it’s aquaculture , ” local fishing baron hagen stehr , yasmin stehr’s father , told forbes in 2006 .

fish are tricky to count , which makes determining their population an inexact science . more conservative estimates put the current percent of spawning biomass closer to five percent . the ccbst’s efforts to conserve the species are good , but according to other monitoring bodies , they’re far from good enough . while australia’s environment protection and biodiversity conservation act only classifies the fish as “conservation dependent , ” they remain on the international union for conservation of nature’s critically endangered list .

not sure what makes some think that girl in 313 ( 1940 ) is a film noir . surely only considered such for perhaps containing some elements familiar to the new style , but for me this was simply a standard 30s style crime drama which there had been a bunch of the previous decade . and not a very good one either , in my view . too messy and contrived . a rushed script for a low priority release from fox .
