(MENAFN- The Peninsula) A total of 164 fishing boats brought large quantity of local fresh fish at the ports of Doha, Al Khor, Al Wakrah and Al Ruwais for sale last week under special arrangements following the preventive and precautionary measures to protect people from COVID-19 infection.
The Fish Affairs Department has stepped up efforts to regulate fish trade at the jetties of aforementioned ports to ensure that wholesalers, suppliers and consumers receive high quality fish, said the Ministry of Municipality and Environment (MME) in a press release.
MME had allowed the fishermen to sell fish directly to wholesalers and major outlets (in long term contracts with fishermen) at the ports of Doha, Al Khor, Al Wakrah and Al Ruwais following the decision of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry to cancel auction at Umm Salal Central Fish Market.
