they were fishing for patagonian toothfish. while thoroughly delicious, i believe they're 'threatened' or 'endangered' or something now. it's not PC to serve it in the US anymore. (it's also known as Chilean sea bass... cuz who would want to eat a toothfish?)

mmmmm.... Chilean sea bass.

I think it depends on where they are fished. Some places are being ruthlessly exploited, while other fisheries are managed, for what it is worth. Managing fisheries is a very tough thing to do.

A friend of mine had a team of 15 divers, tons of cash and a lot of coastline to survey. They dived every possible day for a year, surveying for abalone. At the end of the year they did the analysis. Abalone are so patchily distributed, that if they did the years diving again, they would have only a 50% chance to detect a 50% decline in the abalone stock.

This survey was the most intense ever done in Australia.

This is the sort of data that many fisheries are managed on. Its not like you can do an aerial survey. So catch per unit effort is the go.
