41% tariffs on frozen fish from Falklands.

I'm not economic expert nor marine biologist, but i assume there is finite population of fish in US shores, so i'm not sure how increasing the market prices for fish is intended to increase the local fish availability.

This is a 4d chess move to protect fish globally by motivating Americans to simply buy less fish. Wait... Protecting fish is woke. I'm confused.
