: The Negeri Sembilan Fisheries Department has issued a stern warning to the public against using illegal methods such as poisoning and electric shock to catch fish and prawns in public waters.
She said that JPNS has received reports of four cases of poisoning in the Sungai Linggi area and instances of electric shock fishing in Sungai Triang, Jelebu. “I understand these activities occur between 3am to 4am, making it challenging to apprehend the perpetrators,“ she told reporters during a Giant Freshwater Prawn Release Programme at Sungai Linggi in Pengkalan Kempas today.According to her, poisoning or electric shock fishing not only damages the aquatic ecosystem but also poses health risks if consumed.
