The Norwegian Coast Guard last night detained the Russian trawler Koralnes, suspected of having failed to register catch. According to NRK, the Murmansk-registered trawler is believed to have caught 48,5 tons of fish without registering the catch. The vessel has now been accompanied to the Norwegian port of Bodø. The Koralnes had the necessary catch permissions for fishing in the Norwegian zone, but still failed to register its catch results when leaving the zone. A Norwegian police spokesman says to NRK that the captain has been questioned and that he has agreed to pay the 500.000 NOK fine.
