This fourth video in the sequence from Lucy Marianna on 9th October 2012 shows the 68mm mesh gill nets - 'red mullet gear' - being hauled. (The others show the setting of this gear and 90 mm gill nets earlier in the day; the extraction of fish from large mesh monkfish (angler) gill nets, and the hauling of the 90 mm nets). Hauling was underway by 11.50 am. In addition to red mullet, the catch included scad, lesser spotted dogfish, streaked gurnard, cuckoo wrasse, pollock, pouting, ling and one octopus (capture shown on the video, at 8:45). Hauling was completed by 12.30 pm. Stills photography and other information of this session are available on the Pisces-RFR website at www.pisces-rfr....
The video starts with a burst of lesser spotted dogfish, with Coverack visible in the background. At around 1:15 Anthony is extracting a male cuckoo wrasse. At 1.50 Darren is extracting (probably a) streaked gurnard and the first red mullet comes aboard. At 3:20 a characteristic olive backed big eyed pollock comes over the hauler. At 4:30 onwards there is a good view of scad, horse mackerel, being extracted, followed by a ling at around 6:25, more red mullet and another ling and pollock from 6:50. At 10:56 the net temporarily gets caught up in the hauler. From 11:30 there is a close view of red mullet.
From 13:30 the video concludes with Lucy Marianna returning to the Helford estuary mooring.
