Durban restaurant fined under the Marine Living Resources Act

26 Jun 2012

It is the second time in a year the restaurant, which specialises in Chinese cuisine, has fallen foul of regulations.

uShaka Marine World also hosts the Oceanographic Research Institute, the SA Association for Marine and Biological Research and the Seaworld Education Centre, says The Mercury. Emperor's Kitchen owner Hong Ping Wu, 45, appeared before magistrate Mike Lasich in the Point Community Court and pleaded guilty to charges under the Marine Living Resources Act. The restaurant was fined R40 000, half of which was suspended for five years.

Ezemvelo marine prosecutions officer Wayne Evans warned that it was an offence to trade sea fish species commercially without invoices - readily available for inspection by fishery control officers - recording the names and physical addresses of the parties to the transaction, along with the date of delivery and the quantity and mass of each species, The Mercury reports.
