In recent years, French Guianese coastal waters have become home to a genuine maritime trafficking problem.
The main object of all the poachers activity has a name: the acoupa weakfish. A fish greatly appreciated for its flesh, but even more for its dried swimming bladders which sell for more than 1000 euros per kilo on the Chinese market!
To fight against illegal fishing, the maritime gendarmerie and the navy are tracking down boats coming from Brazil and Surinam. These are high-risk missions where provocations and physical confrontations are common.
