Western Australian fishing ban

[quintessentone]

The Chinese are destroying habits, decimating fish populations that are food for other fish, and overfishing when fish are in migratory swims for spawning.  It’s not hard to see the direct and indirect impacts unless you are a blind shill for China.

By pointing out that China is decimating fish and ruining fishing habits in the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean.


Well, this is nice..

Manila: Beijing shielding Chinese crews in illicit cyanide fishing
https://ipdefenseforum.com/2025/12/manil...e-fishing/


In October 2025, the Philippines reported a significant escalation of coercion in the South China Sea, sharing footage of its Marines interdicting a Chinese fishing boat near Second Thomas Shoal. The Armed Forces of the Philippines reported that the vessel’s crew was using cyanide in an environmentally damaging and legally problematic fishing method while operating under the protection of China’s coast guard and maritime militia.

The best thing we can do is ban goldfish, but fisheries dont like to listen to the Swan River Trust.

Since this is a conspiracy forum, and we're on the topic of fishing in the NW, we should have some tanget about three headed fish in the Montebello islands...

Seriously tho, the carp problem is bigger than ppeople thing, and Dep Fisheries dont care.

So ask the fishermen if the demersal fish they were catching were younger/smaller and harder to find when the ban was not in place. I'm curious to know because those are the warning signs of depletion.

You keep talking depletion, yes maybe 100 kms North south, around the capital city, the North and South West, next to no depletion.
Our waters are already over regulated

Our carp problem in WA isn’t a big issue at all …just yet, still a decade away before they become the new cane toad and destroy our rivers completely
Inaction by government and councils is embarrassing 
But demersal fishing, complete industry destroyed, just don’t understand why

And I cited several sources that for all species of demersal fish found off Australia China is a threat.

Sorry, for the most part you are completely wrong
China do not enter our waters, small Indonesian fishing fleets do, hundreds of miles offshore mostly in the Rowley Shoals area.
We have a good coast guard and satellites
I am talking all fishing along WAs coastline from SA to the NT, no demersal fishing at all, for Australians, destroying tourism along our WA coast
13000km coastline with a population of 3 million, how can demersal fish stock be an issue 
Most WA waters are inaccessible to 99% of the population 
 I don’t believe this is just depletion, or maybe depleting humanity long term, seems sinister. 

wasnt their an agenda where they were going to make 10 minute cities, national parks inaccessible to humans. Think maybe I have been around conspiracy sites to long.

Yeah at DEC the morning we found out some arsehole torched our cane toad fence was not a happy norning.

The carp problem is a far bigger problem that people realise.

I don't know what to say to you because you don't want to believe what your government is reporting on that specific fish being depleted. Fishermen or fishing boat touring owners would know whether or not that fish was overfished or not. I'd ask them.

I have the same issue, extremely regulated fishery has now been closed down completely and at most,  it may be overfished in @5% of the whole coastline 
Clearly you can’t hear that 
And clearly you trust what the media state and when I say media, I mean govt regulators
