PHUKET: Three fishermen have been arrested and their trawler seized for illegally fishing in Phang Nga Bay after they were caught in a prohibited fishing area with 180kg of catch on board east of Phuket on Monday (Feb 8).

 

Banluesak Pakdeenark, from the Thai Muang branch of the Department of Fisheries’ Marine Fisheries Suppression and Protection Division, reported that he and five other officers on patrol found the boat some 1.4km west of Koh Ngan, a small island surrounded by shoals just seven kilometres east of Koh Yao Yai.

 

“The boat, ‘Denprakarn’, had three people on board,” said Mr Banluesak.
