Irish and Thai fishing fleets and slavery

exposed by Nestle - the woes of small fishermen is worldwide
This story in the Guardian regarding the Irish fishing industry reminds me that the problems in our fisheries that I bring up in my book are by no means a US monopoly, and that today's small fishermen can have a miserable lot worldwide.
Here is another new article: about Nestle's huge expose confirming slavery rampant in fishing industries, the fish getting into everything from your pet 's food to high end restaurant calamari. 
Our industrial crews (North America) also work awfully long hours, but at least they eat well, have TVs, and get paid time-and-a-half.
