Jakarta:According to BERNAMA News Agency, the Department of Fisheries has reported that the ongoing haze has not yet disrupted fishing activities, including sea operations. The department has not received any reports of interruptions so far.

Ruzaidi Mamat, the senior director of Capture Fisheries Resources, advised fishermen to be cautious, especially in areas with poor visibility, to ensure their safety. He emphasized the potential risks to fishermen's safety due to reduced visibility while at sea.

This statement was made during the launch of the Kha Yang 666 carrier vessel at the Inner Wharf. The vessel, owned by Kha Yang Marine Sdn Bhd, is responsible for transporting tuna and is registered under the Malaysian flag, with Penang as its home port.

Ruzaidi also mentioned that the department would keep monitoring the situation and any changes regarding the haze's impact on fishing activities. Currently, 15 areas in the country have recorded unhealthy Air Pollutant Index readings, with Pasir Gudang, Johor, showing the highest level at 180.
