TAPAH: The public should report to the relevant authorities if they come across any destructive fishing activity in rivers using prohibited methods, including "fish bombing", says Datuk Seri Ahmad Hamzah.

The Deputy Agriculture and Food Industries Minister said this was because illegal fishing methods that use poison, bombs or electric shocks to haul in large catches would damage the ecosystem of marine life and fishery resources in rivers.
