With area closure denied, Bering Sea crabbers keep focus on incidental catches

1 day ago National Fisherman

Despite the red king and opilio crab crash in the Bering Sea, pollock trawlers will be allowed to fish in the Red King Crab Savings Area for this season. “The fishery is collapsed, and we are closed; so this is an emergency situation,” says Jamie Goen, executive director of Alaska Bering Sea Crabbers, in Seattle. As it turns out, however, other gear types targeting halibut and cod in the area account for the majority of red king crab mortality. In 2015 the incidental take of the king crab hit 15,756.

Reliance Industries, the Indian conglomerate controlled by billionaire chairman Mukesh Ambani, reported flat profit in its fiscal second quarter as export taxes on refined fuels and weak refining margins hit its key oil-to-chemicals (O2C) business.

Scotland is certainly no priority for squabbling the Tory MPs in Westminster

She was the poster gal of the far-right ERG group of MPs and their constituency followers. So what infighting is now happening within Cabinet with the PM having resigned and their chosen dogmatic policies shredded? You can rest assured Scotland isn’t a priority!

Kohli conjures up magical knock to script sensational win over Pakistan

Hardik Pandya, the most important cog in India's T20 wheel, struck 40 off 37 balls in a partnership of 113. In no time, India were 31 for 4 and Kohli and Pandya needed to consolidate for the next four overs without losing wicket. Pandya and Kohli, both disciples of the peerless Mahendra Singh Dhoni understand the grammar of chasing in T20 cricket and how to pace the innings. India needed 60 from last five overs but Rauf and Naseem gave only six runs each in the 16th and 17th over. Shaheen Shah Afridi's lusty blows took Pakistan past 150-run mark but couldn't save the day with ball.

Boris Johnson's intended return had turned UK politics into global satire

In the end, Mr Johnson last night ruled himself out of the race. The idea that Mr Johnson had worked out how to do this, were he to return to the hot seat, was for the birds.

Greg Hands, a junior minister who opposed Mr Johnson, recalled last weekend trying to quit on principle from Mr Johnson’s government in July. The prime minister offered him a place in the cabinet as Northern Ireland Secretary.
