Do you see a trend here?
Thanh Van Le, 45, of Houma and captain of the Friendship, was found to be in illegal possession of 12 red snapper.
Agents boarded the fishing vessel Friendship and found two sacks containing red snapper under sacks of frozen shrimp in the hold of the vessel. The red snapper were wrapped in white plastic to conceal their presence. Upon interviewing the captain, it was determined the red snapper had been illegally caught in the vessel's shrimp nets. Agents inspected the captain's licenses and federal permits, and found the captain did not have a federal permit for red snapper. Thanh Van Le was also cited for not having a federal permit for red snapper and for using unapproved gear. |
