We talk of the value of the fishery, purchasing freezer trawlers, chartering longliners, and landing fish in various locations. |
The convention's scientific committee says since 1996 pirate longliners have killed up to 144,000 albatrosses and 400,000 petrels in Antarctic waters alone. |
Overfishing by European longliners contributed to the disappearance of Atlantic halibut by the mid-1930s, forcing fishermen and the Sisimiut factory to seek other resources. |
