Higher fines to those illegally fishing in Argentine waters, including around the Malvinas Islands, is directed to discourage poachers, indicated Argentine foreign minister Felipe Solá who also defended the decision to interrupt the exchange of fisheries information on the South Atlantic bio-mass with the United Kingdom and the Falklands.

    “squid which circulates freely in the South Atlantic”,

    Yes and only by monitoring stocks/catches across both territorial zones can you know what the TAC (total allowable catch) is and therefore what can be sustainably caught, across both zones.

    Back to environmental warfare, with the Argys trying to catch all the squid before they get to Falklands waters.

    Never mind that much fewer squid will then be passing through Argy waters next year.

    And in a few years none.

    No wonder they can’t run an economy.

    I do not know that the Argentine fishing industry requests this exchange of information with the UK.
    there must be a reason

    Gullible, you really need to do some research. The joint Fisheries Commission and its checkered history, goes back to the 1989/90 agreements. The reason was, and is, quite simple. The collation of data assists both sides in reaching decisions on what fishing to allow, and where. The islanders see it as science. Argentina sees it as politics.

    The old 'un will be along right soon I suspect ;-)

    Sr. Solá talks about “Argentine waters, including around the Malvinas Islands”. If they really believe that, they could soon be sending in their Prefectura Naval. Time for the F.I. create a Coast Guard of its own, to protect its waters not only against fish poachers, but also against trespassing Argentine government ships.

    Gullible, what's with the Chile fixation? Are you taking your tablets. That you do not understand the advantages of sharing fisheries data does not mean that they do not exist. It's not a huge problem. The islanders have been here before. They are used to Argentina's game playing.

    Swede, I believe that that the FIG already have fisheries protections vessels. And the Royal Navy, of course.

    Sharing information on fisheries and resources is part of the Madrid Agreement (Tratado de Madrid) signed between Argentina and the United Kingdom during the presidency of Carlos Menem. The irony of all this is that Felipe Sola (a makeshift in foreign relations) was Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries at the time of the signing of the agreement and, at that time, did not question the collaboration with the United Kingdom in the control of ocean natural resources.

    @Guillote

    Sharing information is important and beneficial to monitor and know the state of the fishing resource and, thus, be able to determine the fishing quotas in the coming years. Basically, it is important to take care of OUR natural resources

    Oh, they really believe they SHOULD be Argentinian controlled waters, however they know that if they try and exercise control of the zone with naval/fisheries protection vessels, the British would regard this as an act of war and respond accordingly.

    That is basically why the British military are there in the S. Atlantic, to keep the Argys at bay and out of British territories/territorial waters/EEZs in the S. Atlantic/Antarctic.

    I apologise to you, because obviously you are mentally challenged and it's cruel to taunt your handicap.

    When we went to our schools, we were indoctrinated with our government's version of history. Later in life, we were confronted with the truth. Many times, we rediscover what we earlier learned was lies

    Por otro lado esto que contas es muy bueno y seguro le paso a muchos en argentina. ( yo era muy chico en esa epoca ) y mi opinion personal es que los que iniciaron todo lo que paso en los 70s en argentina nunca pagaron, por ejemplo Mario Firmenich.
    No soy de izquierda ni kirchnerista claramente.
    Pero bueno vos saltas a atacar a los argentinos en cada nota de mercopress supongo que parte de tu intruccion militar y tu odio a los argentinos sigue.

    Sr. Guillote...

    Mirá pebete..., sin ánimo de ofender ní tu juventud ní tu...: “No Izquierdismo/Kirchnerismo”..., me parece in poco desinformado opinar que...:
    - ***“Los que INICIARON TODO lo que paso en los 70s en Argentina NUNCA PAGARON..., por ejemplo Mario Firmenich...”***

    Primeramente..., SOLO DEL Colegio Nacional Buenos Aires (del cuál Firmenich también es ex-alumno) fueron desaparecidos... (O sea...: “ALGO PAGARON”)... 105 pibes y pibas durante los 70's...
    El número exacto de los profes del Nacional que “ALGO PAGARON” no se sabe...
    El número exacto de todos los que “ALGO PAGARON” en toda la Argentina tampoco...
    En mi humilde opinión... muchos pagaron muchísimo durante los malditos años setenta...

    Segundamente...
    Los que INICIARON TODO lo que paso en los 50s en Argentina verdaderamente NUNCA PAGARON...: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HZwLK1tncGw

    En tercer lugar...:
    Los que INICIARON TODO lo que paso en los 20s en Argentina..., fusilando sumariamente acá en mi Patagonia a Facon Grande y unos 1.500 laburantes más (la mayoría Shilenos como el milico de Shicuréo)..., solo por pedir 2 (dos) pesos de aumento mensual y un paquete de velas tampoco PAGARON NUNCA...

    Resumiendo...:
    - QUIÉNES CARÁJO SON LOS QUE “EMPEZARON TODO”... EHHHHH

    No tengo dudas quien es Chicureo y el sabia que pasaba en el planeta y recuerdo que incluso en algun momento era un especialista de lo que pasaba en el 82 con espias rusos en peru y demas tonterias. Y nunca se entero de lo que pasaba en chile...porque creo que dijo este cagon que era banderillero en esa epoca.Si cambia la contitucion a este se le acaba el curro.

    no te enojes lo que digo que es mi opinion de lo que paso en los 70s
    Firmenich y Gorrian merlo para mi mandaron al muere a muchos pibes y nunca pusieron el cuerpo.
    Cuando tenias un presidente democratico votado con un porcentaje historico.
    pero ellos nos metieron en el quilombo de ser cuba y les salio mal.

    The point of sharing information is to avoid overfishing by either side, which harms everyone. Whether this worked I have no idea, but the Peronists are ending it for ideological reasons, not practical.

    “voto las opciones que tengo”

    I know the feeling. :(

    A couple of facts about ***“OVERFISHING”*** and “”“*SUSTAINABILITY”***in the South Atlantic...

    Argentina is extracting yearly about 800,000 tonnes of biomass from the South Atlantic...
    Argentina has a population of about 45,000,000 souls...
    - 800,000 tonnes divided by 45,000,000 Argies gives about ***“18 kgs of biomass”*** per head...

    The Malvinas/Falklands are extracting yearly about 400,000 tonnes of biomass from the South Atlantic...
    The Malvinas/Falklands have a population of about 3,000 souls...
    400,000 tonnes divided by 3,000 Kelpers gives about ***“134,000 kgs. biomass”*** per head...

    In short...:
    - 1 Argie = 18 kgs.
    - 1 Kelper = 134,000 kgs.

    Who is.............: ***“OVERFISHING”***...???
    Who is being...: ***“SUSTAINABLE”***...???
    Huhhhhh....???

    Think, uh, you do understand that the squid don't know or care how many people live in Argentina, right? The number of people splitting the licence money doesn't change how fast the fish reproduce.

    PS. Iceland caught over 1m tonnes of fish last year - nearly 3 tonnes per person. That's a lot of hákarl to get through!
