A Canadian-led patrol of the North Pacific has uncovered dozens of alleged fisheries violations, including illegal shark finning and killing of dolphins.

Sean Wheeler, international enforcement chief for the Fisheries Department, says the two-month surveillance mission was the first to include crews from three other countries, including the United States, Japan and South Korea, on a single vessel.
