While I hope exporters have filed away their 'lessons learned', I can understand why fishermen (and other exporters) would take the risk, the rewards are fairly healthy.
Some might argue that the $250/kg was a fools paradise. I'm not saying that if were in their shoes I wouldn't have taken it, but I would hope that now I would diversify my export destinations.
