The violation was recorded in the Tajik Sea in the Shurkul region.
According to the agency, an investigation was conducted into two residents of the Bobojon Gafurov district—Tolibjon Mirbabaev and Bakhrom Zuvaev. The materials have been forwarded to law enforcement agencies for legal action.
During the inspection, 132 freshly caught fish of various species were confiscated from the violators, including roach, sabrefish, pike perch, pike, crucian carp, and bream.
