“Michael Field’s narrative of slavery and other illegal practices
in the deep-sea fishing industry is both enlightening and
horrifying.” —Christina Stringer, University of Auckland
Business School
“This bold book takes the reader into the heart of the secretive
fishing industry to expose the ugly truth about its out-of-sight
out-of-mind activities. You will no longer look at the fish on your
plate in the same way.” —Glenn Simmons, New Zealand Asia
Institute
“Abuse of fishing crews is reported globally. Field vividly
documents it in an unexpected area — New Zealand territorial
waters.” —Jennifer Burn, director, Anti-Slavery Australia
"Veteran journalist Michael Field is among the few people who can
truly say they’ve helped change the world we live in." —Rose
Cawley, Auckland City Harbour News
"This is a well-researched and comprehensive account of the
ecological and human costs of exploitation in New Zealand's and the
global maritime sector. Michael Field pulls no punches in this
book, which is investigative journalism at its best." —Victor
Billot, Otago Daily Times
"Michael Field is a journo from the old school, chasing hard news
by drilling down through the layers of corporate BS. Through sheer
hard work and sniffing out leads, he has come up with the goods.
This is hard-edged journalism, not once-over news presented for its
entertainment value only." —New Zealand Fishing News
