Cornwall's latest new build Asthore nears completion - meets with professor Villy Christensen's approval!

 The business end of the Asthore sports a five bladed propellor and a stern thruster.........

from the bow on she appears huge out of the water as she sits on her legs in Penryn, near Falmouth..

The boat will be targetting sustainable pelagic stocks in the South West such as Cornish Sardine and anchovy. This will come as good news in the wake of a recent symposium on the state of global fish stocks at the American Association Advancement of Science's annual meeting where Professor Villy Christensen was quoted as saying; "I wouldn't bother waiting for the politicians to sort this one out, guys, you can really help from the comfort of your own kitchen ... lay off the cod, haddock and tuna, diversify and cook up a wider range of fish." - and by that he means fish like mackerel, pilchards, sardines and anchovy! - good news for the Cornish Sardine fleet!

You can hear the professor talking about his findings here.
