Email sent to the contact address for Zhejiang Zhou Pu Ocean Fisheries.
The email said: "I’m writing to you in light of our latest investigation, which concerns abuses in the Chinese squid fishing industry.
Our investigation has found that Zhejiang Zhou Pu Ocean Fisheries Co. Ltd. owns multiple squid boats with frequent communication outages, and its Pu Yuan 825 was fined in 2020 for illegal fishing in Peruvian waters. Another of its vessels, the Zhou Pu 818, fished without a license in the South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organization area in 2021.
Does Zhejiang Zhou Pu Ocean Fishery Co. Ltd. have any comment or statement to make in light of this email? Please reply by close of business on July 20, 2023."
