Four recreational anglers were fined a total of $17,000 and forfeited their fishing gear after violating the federal Fisheries Act in British Columbia's southern Gulf Islands.
All four pleaded guilty in a Victoria courtroom last month to multiple violations, including over-fishing, obstruction and making false statements to a fishery officer.
Vessel operator Lam Pean Kwok was fined $2,000 for making false statements to a fishery officer, while three others – Bui Choy, Suk Ching Friennie Lam and Jimmy Tuan-Nhi Luong – were each fined $3,500 for over-fishing and an additional $1,500 each for obstruction.
