Sustainable fishing – our recommendations
• Limit the use of real-time sonar and other advanced technology to avoid targeted fishing on the largest individuals in the stock. • When catching & releasing: use barbless hooks, minimize air contact and keep the fish in the water, avoid releasing in extreme cold or heat. • Use lead-free sinkers and environmentally friendly materials. • Report catches via iFiske to contribute to sustainable management.
