The fight against illegal fishing in Lake Victoria gained impetus after 20 fishermen were arrested for catching immature fish.

The arrest was made through collaboration between the State Department of Fisheries Service and Angalo Beach Management Unit (BMU).

A fisheries officer who led the operation but sought anonymity said the fishermen were detained at Homa Bay Police Station. They will be arraigned in court.
