Illegal fishing is sometimes called poaching. Poachers do not respect fishing seasons (times when you are allowed to fish for a give species) which could affect breeding and lower fish stocks in a body of water. Poacher also may not abide by catch limits which adds further pressure to the fish and may lower fish stocks in the given body of water.
Poaching (fishing out of season, or for protected species, or fishing above quotas, or fishing without a license) is a criminal act and could lead to fines and imprisonment.
