Taipei, Feb. 11 (CNA) Three men aboard a fishing boat from China's Fujian Province were arrested Thursday for poaching fish in waters off Taiwan's outlying island of Kinmen, Coast Guard Administration (CGA) authorities said later that day.

The poachers were arrested and 159 kg of high-value fish worth NT$2 million seized after coast guard fired warning shots at the boat, which had intruded into waters near Dayan Islet, to force it to stop for an inspection.

During the raid, the poachers tried to destroy evidence related to the crime -- a burning fuse -- and attempted to ram the two multi-function patrol boats mobilized by the CGA, according to the authorities.

The officers also discovered 39 torpedo tubes aboard the vessel.
