Inland Fisheries Ireland has secured a conviction against a man in Donegal over the illegal removal of Atlantic salmon.
The man was accused of using a wetsuit and snorkel to swim out to sea and take three salmon from a fixed net on June 19th, 2025.
He was observed at around 6am by fisheries officers during surveillance in Donegal Bay.
A two-month custodial sentence, suspended for two years, was handed down along with an order to pay €713 in costs.
IFI says illegal activity targeting wild Atlantic salmon will not be tolerated.
