Email sent to Cal Ranch's contact address.

The email described abuses on a jigger owned by Rongcheng Wangdao, including the death of one crew member and disembarkation of a second for medical care after mistreatment on board, and multiple indicators of forced labor among the ship’s crew. It then traced squid from that vessel to Rongcheng Xinhui Aquatic Products, which is a supplier of Cal Ranch. The email also asked if the company had any comment in light of the information discovered in The Outlaw Ocean Project investigation.
