Chinese fishing vessels have spent significantly less time in North Korean waters after Beijing warned fishers to avoid clashes with DPRK earlier this year. 

Data from Global Fishing Watch (GFW), an NGO that uses machine learning to track the so-called “dark fleets” that illegally plunder the world’s fish stocks, shows Chinese vessels spent just a few dozen hours in North Korea’s western waters between October and November this year, compared to roughly 3,800 hours during the same period last year.
