Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) has slapped three men with more than $100,000 in total fines for illegal fishing on the B.C. coast.

Fisheries officials laid the fines out in a pair of media releases on Tuesday and Thursday.

The largest set of fines, totalling $49,704.68, was issued against Adrian Slavko Kern, a commercial fisherman the DFO said illegally deployed fishing gear to catch halibut and sablefish in the Chatham Sound area near Prince Rupert in September 2018.

The area was closed to fishing at the time, and officials said Kern had three previous convictions for violating the Fisheries Act.
