Notes: The Joana Princesa was caught in the act of IUU on Aug. 25, 2006 on the Grand Banks of Newfoundland. Canadian inspector who boarded the vessel found that the vessel was using fabric lining on its net making it impossible for any of the catch to escape the net which is not an allowed fishing method,.The Princesa was also cited in December 2004 for illegally catching more than five tonnes of American plaice, a species under moratoria. In 2003, the same vessel was issued three citations, including one for exceeding the five per cent bycatch limit for American plaice. It was also charged in 2001 for using small-mesh gear.
