None of these defendants have been formally charged with any crimes yet they are being subjected to cruel and unusual punishment."

När Internationella Havsforskningsrådet (ICES) utifrån beståndsbedömningar gör en rekommendation av hur mycket fisk av en art som får fångas använder de sig av ett mått som heter maximatl hållbart uttag (MSY). Det är ett mått som kritiserats i många år för att det leder till ett uttag som alltid ligger precis runt gränsen för vad som är hållbart.
