Squids In!

There are reports of groups of 30 Chinese squid-catching boats plus refuelling and refrigeration ships spending months at sea off the coast of Peru (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/oct/21/china-squid-fleet-peru-coastguard-fishing). The boats are after Giant squid, that they attract to the surface at night using powerful lights. The hapless but intelligent Cephalopods are grabbed by mechanical arms on the boats and hacked up so they can be stored on the refrigerated ship. It seems that the fleet frequently illegally strays into Peruvian waters. This is clearly not an activity that is, in any sense, sustainable.
