Central province cracks down on overfishingA patrol boat of Quảng Bình Province (left) inspects a fishing vessel suspected of violating seafood harvesting in May 2017. According to local authorities, most of these juvenile prawns were imported from other provinces as home-grown production failed to meet demand. In the evening of March 6 alone, six trucks were found transporting 10 million juvenile prawns with such lack of documentation. They accounted for 50 per cent of juvenile prawns sold in the market. Likewise, the number of home-grown juvenile prawns only accounts for 60 per cent of the demand in Bạc Liêu.
