Hoki Trawlers

Some of the fleet of Trawlers and myriad wildlife working the Cook Strait Hoki Fishery, New Zealand, August 2010 (HD 720p): best viewed at 720p, in the 'expanded' window; that's about 8" x 4" (in old money) . If your download is too slow to keep up, try 480p, or pause the video at the start until the download (pink-line) buffer fills up, then hit play: smooth-as after that: subsequent replays are then smooth-as, as download buffer already full.
Still waiting for the ok from the crew to show the real action out on deck.

Cool. Spent some great years on the Otakou.

@MultiDeerdog Glad you liked it man. Did a couple of Roughy Trips on the Otakou myself, out past the Chathams: a great boat and a great bunch of lads.

Ok that's greatly appreciated... How about info leads on boats or processing facilities dealing with alfonsino or orange roughy? I will call the lead you gave me. Many thanks!

@thereelstory Sandfords also catch Fonzies and Roughy. Our other major fishing companies websites are at (add the dots) Talleys co nz and Sealord co nz. Roughy and Warehou are too oily for fishmeal, so the heads are generally discarded at sea.

I am a bait dealer here in USA. I would like to know who to contact about buying the heads of these fish by the container load. You have any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

[dty2dty2]

@thereelstory You could try Sandford Ltd (sanford co nz - add the dots): they catch and process Hoki: the heads are currently made into fish-meal.
