The Vietnamese boats were found with two other vessels last month near Evans Shoal, about 350 kilometres north-west of Darwin.
Australian Fisheries Management Authority officers said almost 200 giant clams were found on board the boats.
The clams can sell for up to $5,000 each.
The masters of the boats have been fined between $5,000 and $10,000 for illegal fishing.
Their crews are expected to be sent back to Vietnam soon.
Meanwhile, a Federal Court judge has found Royal Australian Navy officers failed to properly search an Indonesian fisherman’s boat for evidence of illegal fishing before burning it at sea in 2008.
