While this book joins a longstanding line of exposes about slavery and other human rights in the seafood industry of Thailand and other developing countries, The Catch is unique in that it connects us to the very real human story which is not only our mindless plundering of the ocean's bount
“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
