Recent studies off NW Africa have found evidence of Chinese fisheries actually targeting seabirds and other megafauna (marketed in Asia) to an extent that is hard to believe. we are in need of a worldwide effect of the recent expansions of these fleets (see: Pauly et al. 2014. China's distant water fisheries in the 21st century. Fish and fisheries 15: 474-488.) to understand what is actually going on, which species are targeted and how many.
