"By now, it should be pretty clear to the Viarsa that its best course of action is to stop trying to outrun our patrol vessel."Oh, I don't know - seems to be working so far ;0)

I once caught a Patagonian toothfish in my pajamas, how it got there I'll never know.

then had to help it navigate out to avoid a full-scale rescue operation. The Uruguayan-registered Viarsa then sped off again.

increasingly rare and slow-maturing Patagonian toothfish.
What do you do with these things? Grind the teeth up as an aphrodasiac?

I believe that Uruguay is in the Southern Hemisphere, as is much of South America, a major Western Hemisphere continent.

"What do you do with these things? " They are about $8.00 a pound and are also known as Chilean Sea Bass. Here's what you do with them.

In the market, the Patagonian Toothfish is known by many names, including sea bass, Chilean sea bass, Chilean grouper and black hake. In Japan it is known as mero.
Just for the info.

Yup. aka chilean sea bass
Patagonian Toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides)
The modern story of the Patagonian Toothfish is the current environmental disaster in the Southern Ocean. Patagonian Toothfish is being harvested illegally at a rate two to five times the legal catch limits. Current estimates put total collapse of the fishery within five years and possibly as soon as two years. CCAMLR has made a valiant attempt to pull all Toothfish trade into accountable legal strems with a Catch Documentation Scheme (CDS), but with many of the trading nations remaining non-signatories to CCAMLR, regulation is difficult at best. Recent report shows that this year's illegal catch is continuing unabated. The main importers of Patagonian toothfish are Japan and the USA, where a single sashimi-grade fish can fetch up to US$1000; if the CDS can regulate the markets of these two countries it will excercise great control. However, pirate fishing and black markets thrive, landing an estimated two to five times the legal toothfish catch. The dire reality is that this fishing gold rush won't last the decade, leaving another commercial, and possibly ecological extinction in its wake. If that isn't bad enough, the illegal fishing kills thousands of seabirds by taking no precautions against bycatch - CCAMLRs Scientific Committee estimates that over the last three years, as many as 191,700 seabirds have been hooked and drowned as bycatch on pirate longlines in the CCAMLR area alone. This breaks down to 46,500 albatross, 7,200 giant petrels and 138,000 white-chinned petrels. Sadly, the true figure may be several times this figure. Such levels are unsustainable for these species, according to the Scientific Committee. Read about perils to seabirds of the Southern Ocean.

More than half a dozen countries, including Britain and the US, have promised Australia their support
So, you mean to say with all our technology, we cant catch a fishing boat??
To: blam
Maybe the Aussies want to have their own delicacy. Of course they will confiscate the evidence.
