Bit more of a deterrent than a round or two across the bows from an A4K.
I've got no problems with weapons on P-8s, but the trouble with sinking a boat fishing illegally is that there would be a mountain of paperwork, and there's a good chance that the majority of the crew are working in conditions close to serfdom. Perhaps more practical would be to arm the Patagonian toothfish--they sound already quite BAMF.
