UAE: Shortage of Fish Pushes Prices to All Time High [Print...]
United Arab Emirates - The price of fish has nearly tripled in the two fish markets in Ras Al Khaimah due to shortage of fish as a result of the hot summer and less number of fishermen venturing out to the sea.

Moreover, during the summer months, fish usually take refuge in the deep waters and the traditional fishing methods which are used by the local fishermen are not able to net them. Hence, most fishermen prefer to stay at home.

However, the situation in the emirate's fish markets is likely to change by the end of October.

Fishermen are themselves advising customers against buying fish due to the high prices and from being cheated by some unscrupulous fish traders who sell frozen fish as fresh.
