Authorities in Ecuador have detained the crew of a Chinese fishing boat suspected to have caught endangered sharks in the Galapagos Islands.
The Fu Yuan Yu Leng 999 was found on Sunday in the archipelago, which is a marine reserve, carrying 300 tonnes of fish.
Most of the catch was sharks, including protected species such as hammerheads.
About 20 crew members face up to three years in prison if found guilty of trafficking protected species.
