The Court of Appeal reduced the defendant's prison sentence from six to three months while upholding confiscation and public notice penalties. The defendant argued the original six-month term was excessively harsh given his clean record since 1981 and lack of actual fish caught. The court agreed, finding the initial sentence disproportionately severe compared to the minor ecological damage and existing non-custodial measures.
