Black market for white fish as EC rules bite
Article Abstract:
EC regulations specify how many days a boat may spend at sea and how much of each fish it may catch. This has led to total catches being returned to the sea. The majority of skippers land illegal catches to sell on the black market. Peterhead, Scotland is Europe's largest port for white fish, cod and haddock. It is impossible to isolate catches. The Scottish Fisheries Protection Agency have fined some fishermen and there has been some violence. There is little other employment in the area.

Those present heard that Hamilton was armed with two high-powered pistols, two revolvers and 743 rounds of ammunition. It was clear that he intended to kill as many people as possible. The weapons he used were specialised, being designed for high speed and great accuracy. The inquiry will take care not to reveal specific details about any of those murdered.
