Disclaimer & comment rulesI wouldn't normally take delight at others' misfortunes but the Argentine Government in recent years has taken decisions and encouraged activities directly aimed at trying to interfere with and reduce stock levels in our fishing zones.

Karma.
She said listen SHRIMP,
Feb 13th, 2015 - 02:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0That will be ten SQUID or I will HAKE you to death,
So they say she said.
On a lighter note,
Perhaps more fish /Shrimp / hake, squid, farming may help
After all if you continue to take out of the pot, but put nothing back in, sooner or later the pot will empty and none of us gets any,
Greed is always rewarded with Nothing…

Feb 13th, 2015 - 03:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What have I been saying forever? The British want to seize ARGENTINE TERRITORY, here is the proof. “Our fishing zones”, what does that mean?
Is Argentina fishing in FALKLAND ISLANDS LEGAL territorial and EZZ waters? I don't think so. Surely they would have by all means necessary removed such activities from their rightful waters.
But ARGENINE WATERS.... now also are “theirs?”??? Well that's exactly what I have been saying, the slippery slope of engaging in any talks with the treacherous, covetous Anglos. Which is why Argentina is 100% in this case, of not ever again sitting down with either the Falklanders or the UK. Their ultimate goal is the annexation of all Argentine EEZ and territorial waters, and to use some hypothetical threat from us to set up a beach head south of Mar del Plata and create a new world Gibraltar there.
This is why one must never talk to the Anglo. They do not want peace and friendly relations, they want land and resources for themselves, everyone else be damned.
Son of a Brit are these people cupidity-driven.
Only someone with an Argentinean education would base their entire argument on fish obeying arbitrary human borders.
Feb 13th, 2015 - 03:51 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Mind you the paranoia is pure Peronism: “Their ultimate goal is the annexation of all Argentine EEZ and territorial waters”...... a byproduct of Argentinean education.
1. Just like taking over YPF now they have to keep domestic fuel prices up, import more and can't get anyone to invest in VM.

I doubt it, you have a habit of ruining everything that is yours, so Britain would not be interested in annexing a wasteland.

Feb 13th, 2015 - 10:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0At least you removed any reference to the word truth from your MP name several iterations ago.
They are our waters to fish from and there is nothing you or the Crisis Fernandez de Kirchner government can do to prove otherwise or change the situation. It is purely delightful that she tried to f*^k up our fishery without success but instead is seeing a decline in yours for her trouble.
You used to (years ago) have some credibility on here. Now I rate you with Susie and Pauly. Whatever you do don't let yourself go any further and end up like Think.
I give you credit, @11. That was an artful “non-denial” denial.
Feb 13th, 2015 - 10:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I knew there was something fishy going on.
Feb 13th, 2015 - 11:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Formal charges were brought against Argentina’s president, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, on Friday, in connection with her alleged role in covering up the country’s worst terrorist attack.
The charges against Fernández, brought by prosecutor Gerardo Pollicita, are the latest developments in the political earthquake set off by the death of prosecutor Alberto Nisman. Pollicita acted on the 289-page criminal complaint against the president that Nisman made public on 14 January, four days before he was found dead of a gunshot wound to the head in his Buenos Aires apartment.
Moving away from the political discussion for the moment... if the figures are accurate, that's a pretty steep decline.
Feb 13th, 2015 - 11:43 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I'm not in the fishing/seafood industry (anywhere), but unless this magnitude of change has been observed before, it's interesting.
There needs to be more follow-up to determine if it's a Argentine fishing industry problem, a natural variation in crop collection, or some aspect of territorial/politically impacted controls.
Knowing THAT would be interesting... and a worthy story.

WTF ???
Someone sounds a lot like illiterate and confused Brasso!
How is Argentine education responsible for 400 of clear evidence of British behavior of usurping other's land? Anyone with a brain and a grain (of honesty), can explain it?
Feb 14th, 2015 - 01:39 am - Link - Report abuse 0@12
YOUR WATERS??? No they are OURS.
You have your own waters around the 200km EEZ of your islands. Beyond that, it is OUR WATERS. It is time the Anglo learn that you can't just claim whatever land you land on, the earth isn't something you can claim, and listen to the colors of the wind.
Yeah another rant that makes no sense.

You may have many words, but you are incapable of action.
Glad you admit, “You have your own waters ”
You are making progess, eventually you will hopefully progress beyond the protezeoa stage and ask the UK to come and administer your defunct country.
Which we shall decline to do so.
lol!!
You know NOTHING about me. Do not worry about my economic situations. What you do know anyway? Your only source of knowledge of Argentina's economic situation is this website. You are as educated as a moron in a rubber room on a remote south pacific island with a broken computer that has no internet access and there is no electricity anyway and no ships to bring information for 20 years have passed by.
Feb 14th, 2015 - 02:56 am - Link - Report abuse 0It's not my fault that the truth is embarrassing to you. Anglos are known to steal other's land for 400 years. Not ARgentine education making that up.
I can think of one SPANISH speaking country that tried to steal land as recently as 1982.

@22
Uh no. I was talking to the Ozzer. But I beg my pardon, you are ANGLO. You think everything is directed at your (deluded) sense of greatness.
As long as the British never set foot on Argentina again, all will be fine. The rest of Latin America I don't care what you do. But Argentina is Anglo-free soil.
Actually I have dual Nationality, British/Venezuelan.

I have travelled to every continent, (except Australia, yet), and own property and business in several countries. Including the UK, Spain and Venezuela.
and you?

Parochial? No, scholarly. I don't fall for the Anglo glib palaver.

Feb 14th, 2015 - 05:05 am - Link - Report abuse 0“re-conquer”???
Um, we knocked out Saddams terrorist supporting government, and returned it to the people - then we left - as stated was the intention.
Argentina invaded a foreign sovereign territory with the stated intent to annex it permanently- as you stated at the time,to popular approval and raucous applause.
RE-conquer, since of course, you stole it once. Re-conquer is a really bad word I know, but fairly common when describing British history since 1700.

How are your fisheries practices ????
You are fishing in your “own waters”, right?
and not Falklands EEZ or International waters.
Your own fault!

Ha ha, you sure look silly - and guess what? - its news - EVERYbody is free to talk about it if they can be bothered :-)
If you dont come up with a plausible explanation - we'll feel free to think you screwed up.
YOU tore up the Fishing Mgmt Agreements - then YOU deliberately tried to encourage an overabundance of Vietnamese and Chinese jiggers, in order to destroy the Falklands industry, through deliberately irresponsible overfishing.
NOW LOOK!! Your fishing is down 60-80%, and the Falklands is doing even better!!
Serves you right, Argentina!

@31
Feb 14th, 2015 - 11:39 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Actually the sharp drop in fish catches shows how overfished and undermanaged the Argentine fishing waters are. Corruption and incompetence on the high seas.
Meanwhile, the Falkland Islands report increased catches thanks to a well-managed and corruption-free fishing zone.
If Argentina was to take over the Falkland Islands and the South Georgia islands, they would have economic fishery control over one-fourth of the South Atlantic. It would become an ecologic disaster of huge proportions.
Something for the international community to consider next time the Whacky Leadership starts squawking about their “Malvinas rights” again...
Argentina has ZERO chance to take over these territories.

I seem to remember you claiming you make enough food to feed 400MM people...except not your own I guess.
Psst I told you this would happen.
The starvation will move from the Feudal Northern Provinces into the “productive” provinces shortly.
Watch and see
Poor Tobias
Feb 15th, 2015 - 01:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The strain of continually trying to defend the indefensible is taking its toll, isn't it?
1stly, as Troy says we can talk about anything and any subject that we like. That is one of the many benefits of living in a free society. If you don't like it tough. You can't censor freedom of speech and expression.
2ndly, if you destroy all of Argentina's fishing stocks then it will have a huge impact on many things, but mostly on Argentina. It may just be some 'fish' to you, but for thousands of Argentines it is their livelihood, and no fish, means no licenses, and no licenses means no money going into your coffers. And no money going into your coffers means your country is fecked.
And added to that is you'll have to start importing fish and other seafoods from other countries (maybe even the Falklands), and then most people won't be able to afford it as part of their diet, due to your governments insane economic policies.
I have told you this many times before, Tobias, in a free country it isn't only the RIGHT of the people to question their governments actions it is the DUTY of the people to do so. In a democracy it is not an act of treason to question government policy or actions, only in a dictatorship that is so.
But then, Argentina is already a dictatorship where enemies of the government are suicided, children starve to death, and the elite line their own pockets at the expense of all those starving children.
And despite seeing all of this, Tobias, you still cannot bring yourself to oppose or even criticise the government, which makes you complicit in their crimes against the people of Argentina.
Shame on you Tobias.
Apparently,
