Yes, but what proportion of the catch of each soecies (%) was taken by home fleet vessels,
and what proportion was taken by foreign fleet vessels?

Which foreign fleets were particularly active in Argentina's exclusive Expliotation Zone (220 miles), and on which species stocks?

In this way we will see if there is significant indigenous industry or if it is overseas fleets exploiting specific species stocks, and which component is suffering this severe decline of catch and income.

there should be more boats out fishing, I think a ship yard to build fishing ships would be a good starting point for Argentina's fishing decline. maybe the fees for fishing licences could help pay for the shipyard.
