MS American Monarch is a factory stern fishing trawler. At over 6,000 GRT, the ship can process 1,200 tons of fish a day. British historian David Edgerton has noted that: "since the total global catch is 100 million tons per annum ... 300 of these ships could catch all the fish now caught worldwide".^[1]
