False stars. They rise unnaturally, against the usual migration of the constellations, from the smooth dark skull of the Atlantic. These are the deck lights of the foreign poachers. They are Chinese boats, mostly: big diesel-powered trawlers slipping inshore to plunder Angola's rich waters. The fish they come to steal--teaming shoals of hake, sole and grouper--are frozen and shipped to warehouses in Asia, Europe and the United States. If you eat packaged seafood, some will end up on your plate." (CHICAGO TRIBUNE) This article discusses "the increasingly violent struggle over the planet's last wild fish stocks--a sprawling, global food war replete with rammed boats, frenzied nighttime chases and nameless bodies washing up on desolate beaches."| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due |
