Tridge summary

Researchers from New York University have tracked illegal fishing activities on the high seas using satellite data and other analytical tools, revealing over 90 companies from Russia, USA, Great Britain, Spain, the Netherlands, China, Taiwan, and South Korea as the most active illegal miners and sellers of fish, controlling about 60 percent of the fish resources in the World Ocean. These companies take advantage of the lack of control in fishing areas, operating outside of national laws and regulations. The researchers plan to share their findings with law enforcement agencies to combat unregulated fishing and its impact on declining marlin, swordfish, and tuna populations.

Scientists from New York University (USA) tracked for the first time the massive illegal catch of a large industrial consignment of fish. It is reported by One Earth magazine. Researchers have addressed the issue of combating unregulated fishing. They found that in the open waters of the oceans, the populations of marlin, swordfish and some species of tuna have declined markedly. To track illegal mining, the scientists decided to use satellite data and other analytical tools. Thanks to this, they identified companies that do this on the high seas. More than 90 companies from Russia, the USA, Great Britain, Spain, the Netherlands, as well as China, Taiwan and South Korea turned out to be the most active illegal miners and sellers of FBR. Their names have not been named, but it is known that they account for about 60 percent of the fish resources of ...
