(MENAFN- Saudi Press Agency) Forty Dominican fishermen have been taken into custody on suspicion of poaching in Bahamian waters
The islands' military said Sunday that one of its patrol boats detained a 70-foot (21-meter) fishing vessel off Andros Island, the largest and least populated island in the sprawling archipelago off Florida's east coast, AP reported
It wasn't immediately clear how much fish the boat was carrying some 80 miles (128 kilometers) south of Andros, where conch, lobster and snapper are the mainstay of the local economy
