Comments on: THE CASE OF THE MISSING ANCHOVY http://www.bay-keeper.com/2009/08/the-case-of-the-missing-anchovy/ Say g'day to the Bay Sat, 04 Feb 2012 23:18:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Nino http://www.bay-keeper.com/2009/08/the-case-of-the-missing-anchovy/comment-page-1/#comment-93 Nino Tue, 01 Sep 2009 11:46:06 +0000 http://www.bay-keeper.com/?p=467#comment-93 Thanks for drawing our attention to this Alison. Gannets dive-bombing fish have got to be one of the most spectacular, wild encounters available to the average beach stroller. Your call for other Bay lovers to look out for and send in Gannet activity is a great idea. The importance of collecting written data on wildlife can't be stressed enough. IT'S HARD TO WIN AN ARGUMENT WITHOUT FACTS TO SUPPORT OUR CASE. Thanks for drawing our attention to this Alison.

This year I have only seen one feeding frenzy along Seaford Beach. I believe the report on the July 09 survey of the Anchovy will be out at the end of September. I am waiting to interview Michael Holloway on the results... which will be broadcast on Radio 3RPP 98.7 FM on Thursdays 4 - 6 pm Could everyone please look out for and record Gannet activity in the Bay, this time last year I was photographing hundreds of birds feasting on ‘chovies… gannets, terns, seagulls, pacific gulls, even the pelicans came for the feast.

But ultimately, Fisheries Victoria is responsible for conducting and reporting on the annual Baywide Anchovy Surveys. Given that the last survey occurred in June - July 2008, we should expect another report soon.
