Trident accused of multiple infractions

The Alaska State Troopers have charged Trident Seafoods Corp. with multiple counts of "unlawful possession of fish."

The charges stem from inspection of Trident tenders offloading seine-caught salmon in Ketchikan, troopers press releases say.

Trident was cited for three counts of unlawful possession of fish after an inspection on Aug. 13.

"Investigation revealed Trident Seafoods had retained 40 king salmon and one steelhead that were not reported on any commercial fish tickets as required," troopers said.

Trident was cited for another count of unlawful possession of fish after an inspection two days later.

"Investigation revealed Trident Seafoods had retained eight king salmon and two steelhead that were not reported on commercial fish tickets as required," troopers said.

A number of tendermen also were charged.
