If you ask people in the industry , the 7% drop is due to catches having to be thrown away because of constant strikes by various unions in the ports .
Not having a navy doesn't help , because foreign factory trawlers can enter Argentine waters unimpeded and hoover the seas clean .

It is probably the FALKLANDS fishing fleet getting their own back.

Is there any tonnage that is NOT landed in Argentina?
Does any significant tonnage get diverted straight to Korea and China without being counted in Argentina's annual landings?
