Two people accused of netting Atlantic salmon in King’s Point on the northeast coast will appear in court in central Newfoundland at a later date.
Fisheries officers saw two people attaching a gillnet to a wharf in the community. The next morning, they saw two people return to retrieve the net with a boat.
Officers recovered 10 Atlantic salmon, releasing the one which was still alive. They also seized the boat and net.
The two men have been charged with numerous violations of the Fisheries Act.
