As back-to-back cyclones over the Bay of Bengal have kept fishermen off the seas, the arrival of fish to the city has been severely affected in the last two weeks. Ever since Nivar cyclone passed through the state, only a limited variety of fishes has been available following a dip in arrival from coastal districts including Nagapattinam. With Cyclone Burevi following in Nivar’s trail, fishermen in Ramanathapuram and Kanyakumari districts have not been able to venture out. Several fish varieties such as anchovy (nethili), seer fish (vanjiram) and barracuda (sheela) are not available due to adverse weather condition in the sea. We are managing with what we get, said S Badrinath, proprietor of Ocean pick seafood. Expecting it to continue for a week or more, vendors have started procuring fishes from Kerala to meet the demand. Threadfin fish (sankara) and ladyfish (kilangan) are at presently procured from Kerala coast. For the next one week, we expect a fall in the arrival of fishes from the coastal districts of the state, T Ashok Kumar, a fish vendor from Kasivilangi market added. Vendors said that prices have remained the same to prevent people from avoiding seafood and going after meat. A majority of the fish vendors here rely on Nagapattinam and Ramanathapuram fishers, both of which are witnessing the impact of cyclones.
