#1 How many have not been caught???
#2 Poetic justice.....I'm sure they won't hold him long. Greed is a funny thang!!monoloco - 3-25-2015 at 08:01 AM
Maybe what's needed is an advertising campaign in China to let them know that eating those expensive swim bladders won't put lead in their pencils.Osprey - 3-25-2015 at 08:10 AM
Monoloco, I wasn't thinking China. It's against the law to propagate over there so maybe we could get them to help us stop the poaching and sale of
shark fins, animal tusks and fish bladders. mtgoat666 - 3-25-2015 at 09:03 AM

Their culture of wanting to eat or posses just about anything
rare or unusual is driving the extinction of many species. I'm sure that there must be some kind of campaign to change that culture and raise
awareness of the problem in Asia, but I'm not aware of it.Osprey - 3-25-2015 at 10:19 AM

Does Mexico have anything like this NOAA publication that lists all the fishing co-ops in the US?
They caught them with 1009 lobster tails and a thousand pounds of whole lobster. They should confiscate the boat and throw the owner and crew in jail,
but they probably won't do anything because the guy's well connected.monoloco - 3-25-2015 at 04:20 PM
Shari, what's the skinny on this from Asuncion? They must be more than a little peeed.blackwolfmt - 3-25-2015 at 04:47 PM
IMO we and Mexico need to stop importing seafood to asia , but I know it will never happen

and it is so sad...the Sea of Cortez at least could be so easily protected since it is under the complete control of one country. I know, ain't
holding my breath.
