A total of 470 kilos of fresh filleted dorado on ice was confiscated by Marines and Conapesca inspectors (Comisión Nacional de Acua-cultura y Pesca) on Stone Island last week.

According to a Conapesca press release, the fish were seized in an operation on October 8 after authorities received a tip that there were small boats fishing for dorado in the sea surrounding the Isla de Chivos (Goat Island).
