Due to poor sales, vendors at Otaheite Bay complained that they have to dump over 100 pounds of fish weekly.
• This came in after vendors had to raise their prices on fish following the escalated fuel prices.
• Over the past few months, fish vendors and fisherfolk have been calling on the government to give them rebates for fuel.
• They said many are leaving the industry because they could not afford to pay for fuel.
• The vendors expressed that they had to lower their prices as low as possible and some even gave away their fish for free but still had no choice but to throw away coolers of rotten fish.
• One of the vendors explained that while people may condemn them for throwing away fish, they could not give spoiled fish to the public.
