(...)In order to deter illegal fishing and trade in immature fish, the enforcement agencies conduct crack down campaigns. For instance, in an operation in August 2018, more than 36,000 illegal fishnets, lines and plastic hook products were seized and destroyed; and six illegal fishers were arrested.
