World Business Report

Available for over a year

Illegal fishing of the endangered totoaba fish in Mexico, to satisfy a lucrative black market in China, is also killing the rare vaquita dolphin, which is caught in the nets. David Hance, chief operating officer of the campaign group Sea Shepherd, tells the 麻豆社's Russell Padmore the illegal fishing in the Gulf of California is supported by Mexican drugs cartels. (Picture: A dead vaquita porpoise trapped in an illegal net. Sea Shepherd image.)
