defintely spear fishing. its so ironic how some people feel guilty about spearing fishng yet buy from a market that employs all those destructive methods.

Spear fishing by far, no by-catch, no destruction of habitat, size and species specific, its even more eco-friendly than fish farming which can result in destruction of habitat, introduction of non-native species and a host of problems with waste accumulation.

Spear fishing by far. I go on charter fishing trips from time to time, and the number of fish too small to keep that are killed then thrown back is incredible. The dolphins and sharks have gotten smart. They know a charter fishing boat means the dinner bell is ringing so they circle the boat and wait for the "shorts" to get thrown back.

How about "fish farming"

Well
In my homeland the most destructive is with the use of power - which is not listed in the poll.
These guys are puting electric wires into the lake and after that everything is dead....
The least destructive is farming.

How about "fish farming"

fish farming has been shown to have adverse effects by way of at least siltation and pollution.

Obviously, the least impact method of fishing is "none".

Spearfishing is low impact, but also very low yield. Think about the incidental pollution from getting to and from the dive site,etc. to get a couple of fish.

Yes. Fish farming, if not done correctly, will pollute; but a well run fish farm is very productive with little pollution compared to the amount of fish generated.

Halle...fricken..lujah. Do we have a PRO aquaculture advocate here? Charlie, you are welcome to come and dive off my boat anytime. All day, all week. Sea farming will feed our grandchildren's grandchildren's grandchildren's grandchildren. There is no other media plentiful enough once we have 20 billion people on the world.
But back to the topic. Spearfishing. Except for the fact that I burn about 25 gallons of gas getting to the good sites for 25 lbs of fish. I can run 4 acres worth of aerators with 70,000 lbs of shrimp on that much fuel.

I am with you charlie. I dislike fish. Shell fish is ok, but I can't stand the taste of fish/fish. So for me fish are for looking at.
