Fresh fish traders at Ejina Market in Ikorodu area of Lagos State yesterday decried the low supply of fish by fishermen.

Some of the traders who spoke with NAN said the prices of the few fishes they got were high.

Mrs Fausat Ojikutu, whose father and husband are fishermen said the business used to be lucrative but not any longer.

She blamed the situation on the challenges faced by fishermen in catching fish.

Ojikutu listed the challenges fishermen faced to include poor fishing equipment, sand dredging and water hyacinth problem.
