Sabah government is determined to put a stop to the harmful fish bombing, said Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Seri Dr Jeffrey Kitingan.

"We want fish bombing to be stopped, that is the policy of state government.

"We will take serious action against those who are still using fish bomb as their way to fish.
