Clove Oil

[Anonymous]

well now i must say that twice i've caught an aussie fish guy in the bar.....

I must ask...did you catch him with a barrier net or clove oil?

Peace,

Chip :lol:

Neither, just two jars of piss, one for each hand :lol:

cheers mate

well, he had a pint of cold beer in one hand, and ordered another for me right away.... i love those aussies.

And, he is an old netsman from way back,,,,, and his son is also well known for his net collection skills.....

I do not believe clove oil should be used for collection. We simply need bonafide net training AS WELL AS training in post harvest handling......

cheers

And those are my 2c. By all accounts, clove oil is more expensive than cyanide, and less effective. Would impoverished, unskilled divers even bother with it? Why waste time teaching them a collecting method that's not only inferior to nets, but also to cyanide?

Exactly. Cyanide is cheaper, it is known, and it is effective.
Economically, it is a better alternative to the fishermen who use it.

It is a no-brainer, folks. Clove oil isn't affordable to collectors in the Philippines.

P.S. As much as I would like to tout Clove oil as an alternative, I just don't see it working in the real world.
