Article Abstract:

Canada seized a Spanish fishing trawler, the Estai, in Mar 1995, on the grounds that the vessel was severely depleting the turbot population off the coast of Newfoundland. The Estai was outside Canada's 200-mile limit at the time of the seizure. The European Union (EU) protested the move.
