A man in New Zealand has been sentenced to prison for illegally harvesting over 4,600 Crayfish and selling them on the black market. John Nohotima, 60, made nearly $64,000 from the operation, but the crayfish would have had a value of $300,000 if harvested legally. Nohotima obtained falsified customary permits and sold the crayfish throughout various cities in New Zealand. He was sentenced to two years and two and a half months in prison. This case is part of a larger black market operation, with 11 members facing charges.
