A male Atlantic Salmon is shown swimming in salt water. ((CBC))

Three men — two from Newfoundland and Labrador and another from Ontario — have been fined thousands of dollars for illegal salmon netting in two different incidents.

One from Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Labrador was fined $4,000 for illegally fishing Atlantic salmon with a net and $1,000 for fishing during a time when the fishing season was closed.

The man, who was not named in government news release, has 18 months to pay the fines and he is prohibited from fishing in inland waters or within 30 metres of coastal waters for three years.

The fines result from an investigation by fish and wildlife enforcement officers in the Little Burnt Bay area, on the northeast coast of Newfoundland, as a result of information received from the public Aug. 16, 2011. Continue reading →
