Spearfishing,underwater hunting and fishing with rod and reel is the purest form of catching seafood meanng that there is almost if not ZERO bycatch.
Everything I catch I eat so no waste or bycatch.
Just because you chose not to hunt while diving doesn't mean that you are not in a way promoting the killing of fish or other sealife.
Everytime you go to a sushi bar,resturant,seafod market,Mc'Donalds for a filet'o fish,etc.. to buy seafood it comes from the ocean or freshwater lakes and streams.
Which means it has to be caught by commercial fisherman and in which most of the seafood is caught by Purse Seiners and Bottom Trawlers in which there will be tons and tons of bycatch wasted and thrown overboard and just the target species will be kept.
This is no way a slam but a eye opener and I hope that there will be more of a understanding of why people might chose to hunt then buy from a store or other source.
The real problem is not the taking of seafood but the method on how its caught.
Sorting out the shrimp all the rest is bycatch and thrown back over
