Three fishermen have been arrested by Coast Guard patrols and caught allegedly red-handed with 55KG of shrimps caught during the annual shrimping ban.
Legal proceedings are proceeding and the case will be referred to the Public Prosecution, said the Interior Ministry.
The men have been described as Asian expatriates by the authorities.
The Coast Guard advises fishermen to abide by all laws relating to banned activities.
The shrimping ban runs until July 31.
The ban, which started this month, is in place to allow stocks to replenish.
