this year It will cost these operators about $2 million for the salmon truck rentals and other ex penses said Otway So theyre looking at profit of $10 million Its more lucrative and less risky than narcotics It is illegal for someone with out commercial fishing li cence to sell salmon Under the Fisheries Act poachers face maximum fine of $5000 or up to one year in jail plus con fiscation of any
