the guy at the Canning Vale fruit and vege market that pays $15000 or so for the first box of cherries for the last 3 years (1kg box). At least they got a fair wad of fish for their cash - a kilo of cherries wouldn't last long.

$100,000 Tuna!

Thats a whopping 226796.2 Tonnes. How much is actually eaten and how much is tossed out? How much by catch? Makes you fell good when you release what you dont eat. i wish the fisheries had more inspectors and more power to enforce the rules. It pi###s me off when you see the sh%t near Broome and you only have to go to the boat ramps around Cockburn or the Freo moles to see people dont take them seriously.
