Article Abstract:
The Uruguayan-registered toothfish long liner Viarsa was arrested with 40 man crew about 3500 km south-west of Cape of Good Hope, after 21-day, 7400 km chase on charges of poaching Patagonian toothfish. Dorada, Falkland Island based fisheries patrol ship, South African tug John Ross also participated in the chase. The vessel was carrying 85 tonnes of toothfish worth A$1.5 million on the international market. This conveys a message to toothfish pirates that governments have declared a war on toothfish piracy.
