A major supporting detail provides evidence or elaboration for the main idea. The main idea here is about pirate fishing (its existence, impact). The sentence "The costs of illegal fishing are significant, with the value of pirate fish products estimated at between $10 - $23.5 billion annually." gives a specific numerical fact (a statistic) that supports the claim about the negative aspects (costs) of pirate fishing. The other options are either introductory statements (like defining pirate fishing) or more general statements (about difficulty in stopping or motivation) rather than a detailed, numerical - based support.
