The investigation's code words, Operation Panulirus, were taken from the scientific name for the shellfish delicacy, Panulirus interruptus.
... Operation Panulirus involved about 15 game wardens, some of them from as far away as San Diego and Ventura. They were assisted by the Long Beach Police Department and the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and relied on radar, electronic surveillance equipment, night scopes and binoculars to monitor the suspects' activities and bait their traps with the living evidence.
Then they waited.
A gripping tale of espionage on the high seas...er, in the deep sea. Just wow.

Ok, who has read the short stories of Jack London, especially his "Fish Patrol" series? Just curious.
