The guy in the video also found hard to believe the birds were killed by the nets. He is right when he said the boats had been fishing in the same way
for years without this concecuences.
I started to sense a possible conspiracy. All these pelicans and dolphins have no commercial value, killing them will assure an overpopulation of
"anchoveta" (peruvian anchovy), which is the most important fish in Peru, used almost entirely to produce fish meal and oil for export. About 90% of
it is exported, tax free.

Also, the anchoveta is the main food of other commercially important species such as bass, tuna and mackerel. These species have equal importance in
Chile.
Just think about it.
NOTE : It really piss me off the stupid girl laughing at the end of the video, what's so funny about it?

UPDATE :
About the advantages of an anchoveta overpopulation :
The ever-growing demand for fish and fish oil due to their omega-3 fatty acids has led to exponential growth in the aquaculture industry—and
depletion of the world's oceans. While aquaculture is farmed fish, the fish are fed with wild marine species.
In a paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences researchers announced that from 1995 to 2007 global production of farmed
fish nearly tripled. This year the industry is set to reach a new landmark: aquaculture will account for 50 percent of the fish consumed
globally...

UPDATE :
About fish oil, here some vital info, please read. Seems all these was previously calculated. Even if the article mostly mentions Peru, the info is
absolutely valid for Chile, as you will see.
Fish oil prices move up again
World fish oil production is declining despite higher Peruvian production. Prices increased in the course of 2009, but without reaching the peaks of
mid 2008. Demand for fish oil is strong on the world market, and further price increases are likely in coming months.
Following "El Niño" is now a key for good investments.
The Peruvian industry is expecting an El Niño year in 2010, which will lead to lower fish oil outputs. Production is also forecast to decline in
other producing countries, which will lead to a supply shortage. On the contrary, demand continues to be strong and thus prices are likely to move up
even further.
Finally, here some charts about fish oil exports in both countries, Chile and Peru :

Again....think about it.
