Non Possumus - On Electrofishing.

[] Tertius Gaudens


  Readers may ask: "What is that
the name is in your new column?

  "Non possumus!" in Latin
means "We can not," "No!", "I disagree!" and is determined by 
the formula failure. At one time it was widely used by the 
Roman popes. 

  For example, a refusal in 1529
Clement VII King Henry
VIII on the request to allow a divorce from Catherine of Aragon 
to marry a Anne Boleyn.


  This formula is similar as winged
Polish expression "Nie Pozwalam!". Using it, the gentry 
realized their the right to Liberum Veto (free protest)

whereby in the XVI-XVIII centuries. an objecting member of the 
Diet was making his decision void. 

  In our discussion section is expected to post articles which 
expressed strong disagreement with some appeared earlier 
opinion. 

  Well, the editorial in the water watched by introducing this 
category! Material immediately poured turbulent flow. B | 27, 
with his objections are the deputy director of the bureau LPL 
A. Radkovskiy and a member of one of the computer M. Isaev 
firms. Joined them and your servant.




G On "Electrofishing"

{} Anatoly Radkovskiy, 1999


  I struck a chord with the article in issue 26
of Electrofishing. Already there are very complacent
refers to the poachers and about this very
"Fishing rod"!

  I myself am not fond of angling fish, and underwater hunting. 
For 12 years I go on pond of the former sand quarry, located 
near the railway station Zadorozhe (it's under Nikolaev, Lviv 
region). And it is able to judge that there occurs as a result 
of such poachers - and yet no rybarteley

there!

  Vodivshihsya there before and crucian carp
almost gone. Trout fully
hatched. Pike will fall - but weighing not more than 4,5 kg. Of 
course, played its role and Closing trout farm three years ago 
... 

  As far as elektroudochek ... They are sold
and at Lviv radio market - and a very
active. "Voltage - 700 V. The fry
it generally does not work! "- explains their
seller impudent young fellow.

  I saw the result of using this gear
all the same career: the band of water surface
13h1, 5 m - all completely strewn with dead
fry! And all this - for a pair of fishes! A
because this is not just a jamming electric fish
- It destroys the whole microflora within
his actions - small crustaceans, daphnia and
other fish feed. It is such - and they
such as - attacks on the ecology and kill the environment, as 
evidenced by - I observed the gradual destruction of a career. 
And I heard from his friends, fishermen (Although it is - 
unverified fact) that after of the electric fish loses the 
ability to to reproduce.


  In Volyn men have been brought before the
that are combined into teams and hold a
round-up of these "elektrorybakov, rent
caught in the police, and selected Tackle
destroyed. And not "take" necessary and right
in place to crush these vermin!

  And the rest I fully agree with the above in this article. In 
particular - regarding the role of destructive fishing 
rybarteley: I saw that they get up - and on the Yenisei River 
and the Dnieper! Is put seine in length and 300-400 m - dragged 
all row. 10 years ago as extracted by

5.4 tons of fish at a time, and now - is calculated by no more 
than 400 kg, and pull out, God forbid, 3 fish - all in the same 
seine!
