    A second fine under the Fisheries Act for a Dunedin longline fisherman

    A second fine under the Fisheries Act for a Dunedin longline fisherman


    Tuna Fishing Company Director, Wayne David MacFarlane, went to sea without an official observer in April last year.

    He was fined 7800 dollars yesterday at the Dunedin District Court - on top of a previous 15-thousand dollars penalty for not deploying seabird-scaring lines while fishing.

    MPI Regional Manager Fisheries Compliance Garreth Jay says it's disappointing to have to bring the same person before the courts for fisheries offending.
