Twenty-five endangered marine animals have been caught in fishermen’s nets this year; another 35 were caught between August and December 2016. Marine biologists said that the number of fish hauled out of the sea has increased with the rising number of fishermen. This has led to overfishing and fall in fish catch. To trap more fish, fishermen have been venturing out deeper into the sea, beyond permissible limit of 12 nautical miles, said the experts. That area, the experts said, was frequented by marine creatures that are endangered and get caught in the trawlers and gillnets.
