The young fish collectively known as White-bait, are an endangered native species. They should be protected purely because they are a native species. They should be further given protection because their numbers are declining.
Commercial whitebait collection should at least be monitored with an annual quota.
Why do people eat the young fish anyway? We don't need it, it's not an essential part of our daily nutrient intake.
Just sit on the river-bank, enjoy the scenery, the company and the peace. No need to catch anything.
