Book review: fishers and plunderers: theft, slavery and violence at sea by Alastair Couper, Hance D. Smith and Bruno Ciceri

Kathleen Chiappetta welcomes Fishers and Plunderers: Theft, Slavery and Violence at Sea as a valuable introductory overview of the supply chain behind the 90 million tonnes of fish that are pursued and landed each year as part of the globalised fishing industry. Alastair Couper, Hance D. Smith and Bruno Ciceri draw upon their wealth of experience to address issues of over-fishing and sustainability as well as the often harrowing working conditions of fishers.
