A shipment of frozen white shrimp imported from China in June has been found to contain Enrofloxacin, an illicit antibiotic in animal husbandry and fish farming, with much of the shipment believed to have been sold to consumers, a Department of Health (DOH) official said Thursday.

His plan is to fish offshore through at least the second week in November if the fish are within range. Despite what you may have heard, fishing is still going strong. Things started out slowly but really turned on when they went to 10-ounce hammered diamond jigs and boated all the nice 60-90 pound yellow fin tuna they wanted by 4:30 a. They will start striper fishing targeting the bigger stripers (20-50 pounds plus) up the Delaware Bay chunking bunker around Nov. I heard from readers who...

The episode peaked on Tuesday, when nearly 250,000 shad showed up at the pumps so many that instead of trucking them all back to the Delta many of the fish had to be buried. And each year, millions of the fish are trapped in collection buckets before they would otherwise be ground up at the federal pumps near Tracy and at larger, state-owned pumps two miles away. Still, the episode raised anxieties because threadfin shad, though still relatively common, are among the fish that have...

From the air, the trio served as spotters for such vessels, helping them catch surface schools of pogies, or menhaden, and bluebacks - non-edible industrial fish along the coast. The Gloucester men talk about how they got started with this unique job, their routines when they were flying and how their fish-spotting came to an end. Mast headsmen then did the jobs Gray and the Calomos did later, scouting for schools of fish from crow's nests atop their vessels' masts, and brawny crews hauled...

But you need to be able to put that in context; farm-raised catfish, for example, is a sustainable wonder, while farm-raised salmon (with the exception of a few "artisan" farms) is not. Be informed: Fish sold in the United States must have a country-of-origin label, and many reputable fish markets can now tell you where and how the fish was captured or cultured, and whether it is wild or farmed. We worry about the byproducts of bad fisheries management or farming, including mercury,...
