Turkish poachers seized near the Serpent Island

The Ukrainian coast guard arrested the Turkish poaching boat ZOR at a distance of 50 sea miles from the Serpent Island. Reportedly, the foreign vessel was escorted to the Odessa commercial seaport.

On inspection the coast guard sniffed something fishy… and detected 10 kilometers of fishing nets onboard. The carrying capacity of the Turkish boat is estimated at about 43 tons.

Incidentally, a kilogram of plaice costs $15 at Turkish markets.
