Four people from Hubei caught more than 1000 kilograms of snails in this river. What laws did they break in China?

These people violated the laws and regulations on the protection of aquatic resources. They fished a lot in the Yangtze River, which destroyed the ecological balance. The four men were caught fishing for screws mainly because they fished in the wrong place. The Yangtze River issued a fishing ban for 10 years, and snails also belong to aquatic products.

First, what happened. On February 27th, 20021,12, four people were busy twittering along the Yangtze River with professional tools, surrounded by1160kg snails. Now that people's living standards have improved, they want to eat something rare. Common big fish and meat have no taste. In winter, people have more free time, and snails that need to kill time become the best products on the table.

Snails are much more expensive than fish now. Some people smell business opportunities and get up early to catch snails. They originally wanted to make a fortune. Unexpectedly, the patrolling police caught him red-handed, and now he has been taken back to the police station for interrogation.

Second, protect aquatic products. The Yangtze River is rich in materials, and the previous overfishing caused the Yangtze River to lose its ecological balance. In order to achieve sustainable development, the Yangtze River began a fishing ban period of 10 years. People who catch fish often feel uncomfortable at first. They often go fishing secretly. In order to prevent this from happening, the police patrol once in a while.

What a coincidence. Unfortunately, the snail fisherman hit a hole. At first, they argued that they didn't know snails were aquatic products, and they thought it wouldn't be illegal not to catch them.

The water world has a delicate ecological balance. Overfishing snails, fish and other animals will lead to the shortage of other animals. We should increase our knowledge of popular science, make people realize the importance of the environment, and don't harm creatures for our own selfish interests. In the end, breaking the law is not worth the loss.

Third, relevant information. Article 340th of the Criminal Law stipulates that anyone who, in violation of the laws and regulations on the protection of aquatic resources, catches aquatic products in prohibited fishing areas or seasons, or uses prohibited tools and methods, if the circumstances are serious, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention, control or fine.

Do you think these four people were caught?
