Endangered Napoleonfish still caught by fishermen

For the second time in less than a month, a fishing tourist caught an endangered Napoleonfish in the Red Sea. 
 
The government has called on fishermen to refrain from catching the giant fish, and put it on the Red List of endangered species.
 
Hassan al-Tayeb of the Sea Rescue Authority has published a picture of the tourist holding his catch, for the authorities to identify him and take legal action.
