Federal authorities have maintained silence on the case, however, the information came to light during a meeting of the Commission for Agricultural Development and Fisheries held this afternoon in Puerto Vallarta, where the councilor Saul Lopez, called for improving fishing practices.

Saul Lopez pointed out that it is necessary to be more energetic against those fishermen who use “chinchorros” in that area, where the presence of armed groups operating in the region has been reported.
