But they are almost certainly Asian fishers;  who knows
what their nation allows out on the high seas.  And,  given
their use of the rest of the HF spectrum for coms,  without
regard to US licensing rules,  I suspect they don't care,
just so long as they find their catch within the huge nets.
Anyway,  no one is enforcing such out on the seas, evidently;
can't even enforce where they fish successfully,  never mind how!
