As many as eleven out of the nineteen Chinese fish farmers working under the cover of aquaculture experts in the coastal province of Khanh Hoa’s Cam Ranh Bay have offended labor and residence regulations and have been penalized, the command of the provincial border police announced yesterday.?
Specifically, Khanh Hoa authorities imposed a VND3.5 million fine on each of the five Chinese nationals who collect, raise and export fish in Cam Ranh City for their failure to register for temporary residence, and VND15 million for not applying for a labor permit.
??Authorities are also handling the case of the remaining six illicit fish farmers in Ninh Hoa Commune and Nha Trang City, and these people are set to be expelled.??
Border police also said that all of the aquaculture animals raised by the Chinese fish farmers on the province’s waters are sold to Chinese traders, who bring the products home through the Viet Dien Bach 01 vessel, which is licensed to travel within Vietnam’s waters between November 2011 and July 2012.
