Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] commercial
angle/ Karl
Karl, I have some information that may
interest you, on a commercial angle, way of life, building your sub, may or
may not work for you, i have done it, so it is from a first source that i know
the potential.
some years ago i apply some commercial
diving techniques on a fishery operation on the north east of usa, we
sold a lot of green sea urchins to the japanese,
living on new zealand you have a vast
area were this equinoderms could be gather, it is a task done normally
by means of diving during the winter, that part of coast that gets all the
rain is the place to look first,
the most important part of the operation
is the identification of beds and sizing and evaluating the quality of the
stock, here is were a psub mades all the difference , the working depht does
not goes below 60 feet,
Regards.
Gabriel.
Gabriel,
I really appreciate the idea, and I will make some enquires to
see if there is a relative potential here in NZ.
Thanks,
Karl.
