Fisheries Dept clamps down on illegal box trap users

The illegal use of bubu naga, or box trap, in the peninsula is rampant as it requires less effort and yields higher catch, says the Fisheries Department. – The Malaysian Insight file pic, July 19, 2022.

Deputy Director-General Mohd Mohtar Mahamud said the illegal fishing traps are being sold on online platform Shopee. “This fishing trap has the potential of destroying the marine ecosystem and depleting resources, as it traps all species and sizes of fishes, including juveniles,” he told reporters after receiving three patrol boats at the Labuan Fisheries Dept jetty in Labuan today.

He said this type of box fishing trap is widely used by fishermen in neighbouring countries near the northern part of the peninsula.
