    Why are there lots of foreign (Russian) trawlers clustered far off our southwest coast?

    http://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home

    Is it because of the 200 mile exclusion zone?
    Why are they in the one spot and not scattered around?
    Why are they mostly Russian?

    If one is a factory trawler / ship won't the rest of the fleet stay within reasonable range of it to be offloading on a consistent basis?

    They are mostly factory ships at Blue whiting, there are rsw Vessels working the same area, Norwegian, Icelandic and Faroese but they are usually only there a couple of days and then steam back to Norway etc to unload
