Several fishermen have been arrested on Lake Volta. They are accused of using nets that are illegal.
The arrests were made by authorities enforcing fishing laws. These laws are in place to prevent harm to the lake's fish population.
Using prohibited nets is known to be harmful to fish. It can catch too many small fish, preventing them from growing and having baby fish.
This operation is intended to stop unsustainable fishing practices. Such practices can damage the environment and the fishing industry in the long run.
The Ghana Police Service stated that protecting aquatic resources is a priority.
Fishermen are encouraged to use legal fishing equipment. This ensures the sustainability of Lake Volta's resources for future generations.
The specific types of illegal nets were not detailed in the police statement.
Further investigations are expected into the matter.
