Over 20 tubs of cuttles go for auction......
which leaves the Cefas team the task of recording a sample form each tub - in line with the current sampling practice from Cefas where the entire landing from a boat is recorded - similar to sampling catches sea - in this case the board records a sample of small cuttles that ranged in size from 6 to 11cm - this kind if data is unique, there being almost no hard data or even knowledge of these fascinating creatures currently being caught in the deep water well south of Mounts Bay - in the coming weeks it is usual for a cuttlefish season to begin off the Suffolk coast where fish are trapped in water as shallow as two fathoms - whether these fish are the same stock as the fish landed above seems unlikely but the little of their lifecycle is known........
a little bit of wreck fish for the Twilight III.......
and some quality megs.......
there are still a few sardines to be found by the ring net boats even at this late stage of the season - unlike King Harbour Marina near Los Angeles in the USA where millions of sardines and other fish have died - the reason seems to be a case of oxygen starvation with so many fiosh confined in a small harbour!......
more signs of the scallop season getting underway.......
the paint job has been completed on Penzance prom's, 'From Here to Modernity' piece.
