OIL SEARCH KILLS FISH
Explosive charges and air cannons fired underwater in the hunt for oil could be kill-
ing millions of fish, Norwegian fishing industry sources say. Norway’s Istitute of Fi-
sheries Technology Research (FTFI), which has begun an urgent investigation into
the effects of seismic shooting on marine life, says there is mounting evidence that
this activity is harmful. Evidence came to light after seismic refraction studies were
carried out in a fjord under which it was proposed to build a road tunnel. The nearest
line of 50 g explosive charges was 600 metres from a cod farm. The farm immediate-
ly stopped feeding and began behaving unnaturally. Two or three days later the fish
began to die. Dead and life fish suffered internal bleeding, burst swim bladders and
other damage typical of quick pressure changes. An explosion equivalent to 130 kilos
of TNT carried out in the same fjord affected farmed and wild fish. The Norwegian
Fisheries Research Council quickly established a group to draw up a program to
study the effects of seismic shooting. The scientists want to know the range at which
fish suffer internal damage leading to later death.
The scientists made some experiments along one line of 35 g charges, placing
cod in cages at three different distances from the line. The nearest was 260 metres
away, the next 600 metres and the third over 1 km. They measured the sound pressure
level and had veterinary investigate the fish before and after the charges were deto-
nated. Their investigations showed that even in the most distant cages there were fish
with internal bleeding and gas bubble development in the eyes. None of the fish died.

SEA LIONS’ SURVIVAL A HIGH PRIORITY
The Hooker’s sea lion hit the headlines in October when concern was expected about
numbers of them being drowned in trawl nets in the Auckland Islands squid fishery.
This sea lion is one of only five species in the world and is protected under the Ma-
rine Mammals Protection Act. It has population of about 7,000 all of which live on
the Auckland Islands. Sea lion and seal numbers around New Zealand were depleted
by sealers in the early part of the 19
th
century. Since then, the number of fur seals has
increased substantially but the sea lions have not shown the same rapid recovery. In
1979, a trawl fishery for squid began around the Auckland Islands Fisheries Officers
aboard the West German trawler, “Wesermunde” observed several sea lions being
drowned in trawl nets. Concern about this resulted in a research programme being
developed to monitor the immediate and potential effects of these accidental kills on
the sea lion population on the Aucklands.
