SMYRNA, Del. (AP) - The Delaware Fish and Wildlife Natural Resources Police have arrested a Smyrna man who they say illegally sold 100 pounds of white perch to a seafood buyer in Milford.

The agency said in a statement that Mathew C. Ryan was arrested Dec. 20 for selling the fish without a commercial food fish license. Police say the illegal transaction happened in May.

Ryan received probation and was fined $240 for the offense.
