What's the punishment for fishing in the fishpond? Stealing fish in the fishpond belongs to stealing others' property, and can be detained for more than 5 days but less than 10 days, and can also be fined less than 500 yuan. If the amount involved is not large and the circumstances are relatively minor, both parties can settle the case through mediation, and no punishment will be given after civil compensation. According to Article 49 of the Law of the People's Republic of China on Administrative Penalties for Public Security, whoever steals, defrauds, plunders, seizes, extorts or intentionally damages public or private property shall be detained for not less than 5 days but not more than 10 days and may also be fined not more than 500 yuan; If the circumstances are relatively serious, the offender shall be detained for not less than 10 days but not more than 15 days, and may also be fined not more than 1000 yuan.
