How many states are there with access to pacific waters that could potentially have thousands of unregistered fishing vessels and whom a poster would be uncomfortable naming explicitly for fear of backlash?

Seems odd that this is a logical guess, but then that's labelled as "xenophobic speculation".

It's a logical guess that the only country that could have thousands of unregistered ships would be china, one of the worlds leading industrial powers with a large pacific coastline. It's xenophobic speculation that china does in fact have these ships and specifically are the cause of this population collapsing.

This is widely known, just not to you.

Calling names won't change that.

Japan's pacific coastline is twice as large as China's. Your logic here is extremely faulty.

Japan engages in illegal fishing all over the Pacific.
