Read this excerpt from a passage.

"Unfortunately, one response to these regulations has been pirate fishing: fishing done without regard to national or
international laws. Motivated by both need and greed, individual and commercial fishers alike have violated fishing regulations
and laws the world over. As the World Wildlife Foundation reports on its website, 'Pirate fishing accounts for an estimated 20%
of the world's catch and as much as 50% in some fisheries. The costs of illegal fishing are significant, with the value of pirate
fish products estimated at between $10-$23.5 billion annually. Not only is this a noteworthy illegal profit, these pirate fishers
are difficult to stop."

Answer: The costs of illegal fishing are significant, with the value of pirate

fish products estimated at between $10-$23.5 billion annually.

Explanation: I am not 100% sure since I don't know what the topic is about but assuming its just about pirate fishing we can assume that one major detail may be the cost/impact it has in the economy and ecosystem
