Nearly 700 illegally caught lobsters have been seized in an operation in Rosslare, as RTÉ News reports.
Officers from the Sea Fisheries Protection Authority (SFPA) detained a Spain-bound lorry in the Co Wexford port town yesterday, Wednesday 22 July.
On board they found more than 600 of its 6,000-lobster load were undersized — and 60 others were V-notched, indicating female lobsters which must be returned for breeding.
It followed an earlier incident this week in which SFPA officers seized 86 lobsters from a recreational fisher, despite the law allowing only one lobster to be caught per day and with sales prohibited.

This clash of crustaceans was captured on video by the Sheephaven Sub Aqua Club earlier this month at Mulroy Bay near Letterkenny.
