The Fishermen of Organized Crime?

That's right. Apparently the fish market in China is driving OC in other parts of the world for fish.

As more and more in the West becomes illegal and not just frowned upon, and as other markets (whether they be black in the West or Legitimate in other places) there will be more potentially lucrative areas for these groups to expand into.

The illegal channels used to transfer drugs have been used to transfer people, so they should be able to transfer fish just as easily!

I'd be interested in the profit margins on illegal fish shipments. The penalties for drug trafficking have to be substantially higher then for fish trafficking. And that would have to play a role in OC decision making, the groups are rational actors after all. There has to be some correlation because they are switching to it now!
