Squid catch is half what it was last year and everything is ok???
Obviously it is over fished and there is not even enough to supply Argentina.

60-70% of the 2013 2.5 months.
Need to compare Catch per Unit Effort, not Total Catch, because the number of vessels fishing is inconsistent and less than the number of licences.
CUE shows up 0verfishing and trends better.
