South America squid left exposed amid surge in China fishing

The high seas off South America have seen a surge in fishing by China's distant water fleet. But negotiators from the U.S., China and other countries couldn't agree on how to protect threatened squid stocks at a closed-door meeting.

FILE - The Chinese squid fishing vessel Fu Yuan Yu 7880 sails on the Pacific Ocean, July 18, 2021. The Pingtan-affiliated vessel was arrested by South Africa in 2016 after it tried to flee a naval patrol that suspected it of illegal squid fishing. The ship's officers were found guilty of possessing illegal gear and disobeying a maritime authority but were released after paying a fine.

MIAMI — Negotiators from the U.S., China and 13 other governments failed to take action to protect threatened squid stocks on the high seas off South America amid a recent surge in activity by China’s distant water fishing fleet.
