China’s distant-water fishing fleet faces new allegations of rapacious illegal overfishing, decimation of endangered species and abuse of south-east Asian fishing crews, following a cross-continent investigation by the Environmental Justice Foundation, a UK-based non-governmental organisation.

The EJF investigation, which includes graphic video footage captured by Indonesian fishermen, spotlights oversight failings by the Chinese government, the inadequacy of other countries’ fisheries regulators and the ignorance — or apathy — of consumers around the world.

In one video taken on the high seas of the south Atlantic last July, a seal was lured with squid, harpooned and then struck with a steel pipe until its skull cracked and blood gushed across its silvery coat.

One Indonesian fisherman described the boat he toiled on as a “devil vessel”.
