Argentine squid industry concerned with a significant drop in prices
A significant decline in catches of squid (Illex argentinus) in Argentine waters at the end of the season, has forced the return to port of several Argentine flagged jiggers, according to a report this week from the country's Coast Guard station in Mar del Plata. Read full article

sandy beaches , swimming pools , sun lounges , bars ,

Something fishy going on here.

Illux argentinus is being renamed by Royal Decree to ILLEX FALKLANDUS as they ( the squid do not like the Argie fishermen ) as they do not have time to breed before they are caught. Argentina let the fish stocks build up and stop overfishing.
Jul 03rd, 2014 - 04:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina can and will fish as much as it wants in it's EEZ. If it drives all species to extinction, not a bloody thing the rest of the planet can do about it.
Jul 03rd, 2014 - 10:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@8. And then you can starve. Or you could try eating each other! There's an extinction that would be worthwhile.

1005, 1235, 1586, 1649, 1727, 1728....
Funny how I see all the nations of Europe, Asia, and almost all nations of Latin America on the list... even the USA?
Only one nation on Earth that has never known FAMINE.
Off you go inferior human!

Ask the Argentine conscripts around Stanley who were not given food during the 1982 war(they had to go into town and steal from food dumps and when found were stretched out in freezing weather or beaten)-a lack of food=famine.
Also the Argentine workers at their Antarctic research station last year nearly ran out of food-so I suppose that only counts as an 'almost famine.'

I must have missed the Great Australian Famine.... or even the Not-so-great Australian Famine.
Only nations that are 200 years old and over count. It would be ridiculous to count in juvenile, immature nations like yours.

Jul 04th, 2014 - 02:25 am - Link - Report abuse 0Well as we have been a nation for 226 years then we are still within the bounds of your ranting. We have only been a nation-state for 113 years. Lucky you didn't say state.
“It would be ridiculous to count in juvenile, immature nations like yours.”
Thank God for being part of something so juvenile and immature. No coups, no dictatorships, no famines, no defaults and economic basket case.
Haha yes, the country that is everything that Argentina can't be. You have had longer to get it right and you still can't. That's alright you can learn from us.
The impressive wiki on famine is pretty misleading on the USA. It in regards to A small island of Yupic Eskimos in the Bering Strait in 1878-80. We bought Alaska a decade earlier. We probably didn't even realize the people were there.

Here's the link to the so called USA famine:

Is that because Australia's economy is better than yours?
I guess what makes Argentina so mature is the fact that the older they get, the least developed they get.
Has there been a famine in the UK during the same time period as Argentina has been a nation state?
Jul 05th, 2014 - 05:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Hmm
Hmm..... No. That is the only comparison worthwhile.
“Only nations over 200 years old count” who appointed you as the rule maker for this made up game? Idiot.
As for 'juvenile nation like Australia' you really have no idea. People are quite literally queuing up to emigrate there. A young country in modern terms but they show greater maturity than the crap emanating from La Casa Rosada.
Over fishing is ok and Argentina would not be punished by other nations?
Oh do sod off Nostril, the squid are more intellectual than you, and they are all fleeing to the Falklands!
