From boat to table: Local fish market comes to Port San Luis in Avila Beach - KSBY San Luis Obispo News

Central Coast fishermen are selling their catch of the day after the Dungeness crab season was delayed for weeks.

Local commercial fisherman and the Port San Luis Harbor District have created a Fisherman's Market Pilot Program, located in Port San Luis for fisherman to sell their fresh catch directly off the boat to the public.

"We got a halibut, it was about nine pounds and two Dungeness crab. We will have quite the feast," Arroyo Grande resident Toni Aelly said.

San Luis Obispo residents, Corrie Arellano and Javon Mejls, also scored a catch from Sunday's fish market.

"We got three live crabs that we are going to cook up tonight and a whole halibut," Arrellano said.

The start of Dungeness Crab season was delayed for weeks due to whale protection and then a pricing dispute.

Tom Capen, a commercial fisherman, said the pilot program will offer new business opportunities.

"[The San Luis Harbor Patrol District] gave us a place to retail our catch to the public since COVID and since we lost all three retail fish markets on the pier over the last few year," Capen said.

Fishermen have had to come up with creative ways to sell fresh fish to the community.

"We finally got a spot a the end of the pier and the enthusiasm is great. When I showed up yesterday with the crab I was supposed to open at 1 p.m. and there was a line of 15 people waiting for me," Capen said.

Fisherman Danny Morton is selling California Halibut at the market and said it's a great place to go if you are looking for locally caught fish.

"They don't have to search for it, they can come directly to the fisherman, know where it comes from, how it was caught, when it was caught and who it is benefiting," Morton said.

The Port San Luis Harbor District has been in favor of the Fisherman's Market Pilot Program. In a staff report back in April they wrote:

"The Harbor District is supportive of the Commercial Fishing Industry and has received several requests over the years for some type of Fishermen’s Market, where the Commercial Fishermen sells his/her own product. "

Locals are also ready to start putting money back into the local economy.

"Not only do we like our fish fresh, but these fisherman are normally selling to restaurants who aren't able to be buying right now either. So we are trying to support our local economy in any way we can," Toni Aelly, a customer, said.

The market takes places Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Wednesdays from 1 to 4 p.m. at the end of Harford Pier at Port San Luis in Avila Beach.

Genomar develops streptococcosis-resistant tilapia - The Fish Site

fish.indah.link

After more than five years of R&D and systematic breeding work, GenoMar introduces new disease-resistant products addressing one of the most economically important diseases in Nile tilapia. Repeated laboratory tests and a field trial have demonstrated an increased survivability of approximately 30 percent for the tilapia selected for streptococcosis resistance. For the farmers, tilapia with genetic resistance will lead to a more sustainable and profitable production.

Selection based on genetic information

GenoMar Genetics, who manages the breeding and distribution of tilapia genetics under the brands GenoMar, Aquabel and AquaAmerica initiated research back in 2015 with the aim of exploring genetic variation to this deadly disease. Since 2016 resistance to streptococcosis has been routinely included in the selection index of the breeding programmes for Nile tilapia. Similar research to increase the survivability in other major diseases like columnaris and francisellosis is ongoing.

"Our geneticists can now accurately determine the genetic component in the DNA of tilapia that codes for increased survival towards streptococcosis, and we used this knowledge to optimise the selection decisions leading to animals with higher streptococcosis resistance without negatively affecting other important traits," says Rajesh Joshi, Senior Researcher in GenoMar Genetics.

Works from day one

The advantage of genetic resistance is that it protects the fish throughout the whole tilapia farming cycle from birth to harvest and does not have application cost.

"This is a particularly important innovation for the control of streptococcosis in the tilapia aquaculture industry which struggles with adoption of vaccination and use of antibiotics. We have managed to prove that genetic resistance is an efficacious and cost-effective new tool against streptococcosis," says Alejandro Tola Alvarez, CEO in GenoMar Genetics.

30 percent increased survivability for streptococcosis resistant fish

To validate the effectiveness of the genetic selection, laboratory tests and field trials were performed to compare the survival between the selected and non-selected tilapia fish. The relative survival after using two different routes of infection (IP and Cohab) with the bacterium Streptococcus agalactiae were 42 percent and 25 percent respectively, for the selected fish. Further, another experiment was performed in Malaysia under field conditions to see whether improved survival in laboratory challenges also applies in commercial farms or not. Results showed increased survival by around 30 percent for the selected fish (see Figure 1).

Brandon Butler: Fishing hot for cold-water crappie - Joplin Globe

fish.indah.link

A little more than a year ago, Nathan “Shags” McLeod and I fished winter crappie with Kris Nelson for the first time on Pomme de Terre Lake. That trip spoiled us. In just under an hour, all three of us were able to boat our 15-fish limit. Shags and I returned recently and learned it’s not always that easy. Yet, with some added effort, Nelson still guided us to two stringers full of fish.

Fish fillets from cold water just taste better. I know a lot of folks agree. When it comes time to fill my freezer, I like to do so in the winter months. Here in the Midwest, crappie are a go-to resource for bags of fillets. Putting IN work during winter pays off when you’re frying fish in the summer.

Nelson and his wife, Amanda, own and operate Stone Creek Lodge on Stockton Lake, and their guide service is Tandem Fly Outfitters. Nelson has been a captain in the Florida Keys, fishing offshore for various species, and a fly fishing guide for trout on Lake Taneycomo. He is one of the most knowledgeable fishermen I know and a great guy everyone enjoys being around.

“I am happy with the idea of fishing for crappie and walleye on these reservoirs for the rest of my life,” Nelson said. “Figuring out these fish and watching my clients’ excitement over catching them is what it’s all about for me. There’s nothing like the thump of a crappie bite.”

Last year, Nelson pulled us up over brush, and we vertically jigged. The action was so hot that I landed seven slab crappie on seven consecutive drops, which is what Nelson calls lowering your jig down vertically. This year, it wasn’t so easy.

“When you guys were here last year in December, the water temperature was around 43 or 44 degrees. This crappie were still up on the brush. Today, the water temperature is 39 degrees. They have slid off into deeper water where they are suspending on channels. It takes more work, but we’ll still get them,” Nelson said.

He was right. We still caught a mess of fish, but we had to work a little harder for them. Nelson would locate a school on his high-tech electronics and position us a little ways away from them. He said the fish are finicky and setting up right over them shuts down the bite. We’d throw our jigs past the brush, then let them sink and swing back toward the boat. The key was having no slack in your line and watching for it to twitch. When the line moved where it met the water, you set the hook. Usually, another slab was on the line.

The tactics we employed to fill his boat with big, cold-water crappie could be used on any lake or reservoir with adequate brush. We were using basic medium-light spinning rods with 6-pound test line and a 1/16-ounce jig head with a blue-and-gray plastic body.

Another point I’d like to make is that Kris and so many fishing guides and outfitters like him are small-business owners. He and his wife have worked hard to develop their lodge into a wonderful family friendly resort, and it has taken years for him to build up his clientele for the guide service. In 2020, they lost 85% of their business. Many of the people who book trips to stay and fish with the Nelsons are between 60 and 80 years old — the demographic most affected by COVID-19. Rightfully so, most of those folks canceled their trips and didn’t travel.

The Nelsons did not receive any financial support from the government. They applied for help, but it never came. If you have ever wanted to go fishing with a guide who will not only show you a great time and send you home with a mess of fish but will also teach you a lot about fishing, now’s the time.

See you down the trail.
