Portuguese trawler nets 'prehistoric shark'

[SonofDonald]

2. I was a commercial trawl fisherman

We'd bring up deep water fish now and then, these don't have an air bladder which would kill it instantly after being brought up from depth ( cod, Pollock, etc ) but these will live for a while after being brought up.

They wouldn't look any different from normal but would be very lethargic and if still alive, I think it's either the water temp, salinity, oxygen content or pressure difference that kills them.

I'm talking about fish brought up from depth not the exact type, they would swim on the surface, didn't try to descend and die short after.

I quit fishing because of the massive waste I saw in the pollock fisheries in Alaska, it was almost criminal what was being done, but the North Pacific Fisheries council set the quotas, and their board was stocked with industry fishery personnel.

Fox in the henhouse big time.
