A fisher has been fined $7,500 in the Maroochydore Magistrates Court after pleading guilty to going well over the Spanish mackerel catch limit on two occasions.
The limit for a recreational fisher is three per person, and the offender was found on two separate occasions with 14 and 13 excess fish.
The Queensland Boating and Fisheries Patrol uses a range of resources and techniques in detecting such offending, including checking market distribution points to monitor compliance for important species under a quota.
