Riches from the Deep, 2, Dreams of Catches Unlimited
directed by Terje Dale and Nils Arne Saebo; produced by Kjell Jarle Hoyheim and Knut Midttun, Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation, in Riches from the Deep, 2 (Oslo, Oslo County: Nordic World, 2000), 1 hour 4 mins
This programme shows how man has harvested the riches of the deep. Dreams of enormous catches have provided the incentive, but dreams are notably nebulous: for some, admittedly, their dreams have come true, but for others they have turned into nightmares.
We meet fishermen on the Pacific island of Mitiaro, and wi...

This programme shows how man has harvested the riches of the deep. Dreams of enormous catches have provided the incentive, but dreams are notably nebulous: for some, admittedly, their dreams have come true, but for others they have turned into nightmares.
We meet fishermen on the Pacific island of Mitiaro, and with them fish for parrotfish on the offshore coral reefs. We take part in the world's largest fishery, that for anchovies off the coast of Peru. In China we learn how the world's premier fish-farming nation utilizes its age-old knowledge of. nature to feed millions of people. We also meet a group of affluent fishwives in Ghana and explore the bed of the Aral Sea in Kasakhstan together with local fishermen, men whose livelihood is slowly wasting away as the sea has dried out to less than half its natural size.

directed by Nils Arne Saebo and Terje Dale; produced by Kjell Jarle Hoyheim and Knut Midttun, Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation, in Riches from the Deep, 3 (Oslo, Oslo County: Nordic World, 2000), 54 mins
The third and last programme in the series explains how we share the harvest of the sea among us.
To start with, the ocean was open to all, but when overfishing became a problem and stocks were in danger of being wiped out, the right to unrestricted fishing evolved into a bitterly fought free-for-all.

The third and last programme in the series explains how we share the harvest of the sea among us.
To start with, the ocean was open to all, but when overfishing became a problem and stocks were in danger of being wiped out, the right to unrestricted fishing evolved into a bitterly fought free-for-all.
Together with ama divers in Japan we dive for molluscs - abalones - and see how the cooperative of which the women are members divides their catches among them. Together with the Norwegian Coastguard we board Russian trawlers; we participate in the purchase of perpetual fishing rights in Icelandic waters; and we learn how Kenyan fishermen survive on the bones that are left after the flesh of the fish they catch has been exported to Europe. More, we see how the people of Mitiaro have shared their catches among themselves, to the benefit of all.
