A few dozen Dominican fishermen have been taken into custody on suspicion of poaching in Bahamian waters.
The Royal Bahamas Defence Force said today a patrol boat stopped a 21-metre fishing boat east of Cay Lobos, a tiny speck of land located off the north coast of Cuba.
The crew of 50 Dominican nationals was taken into custody after crawfish and scale fish were found in the hold of their "Rubi 1" ship.
