Nine crew members from China were taken into custody in connection with illegal fishing in waters near Yeonpyeong Island.

Coast guard officers received a special award for their work. They had chased off illegal Chinese crab boats there.

In a separate incident, a prawn fisher from West Vancouver was fined $5,000. The fine was issued because he dropped traps near glass sponge reefs.

Regulators confirmed there will be no fishing for coho salmon in Lake Washington. The closure will affect anglers there.

The Wuchang fish industry is casting a wider net too.
