Fishermen struggling as restaurants shuttered worldwide
Just one kilogramme of freshly caught squid a day was almost enough to live on for Thai fishermen like Wisut Boonnak.
Now the catch has halved in price and he’s spending more time on village duties.
“It’s the biggest price drop that I can remember,” said Mr Wisut, who’s been fishing for the past 40 years off the southern Thai coast. “There are fewer buyers around now because exports are lower.” Mr Wisut used to go to sea daily to catch squid and mackerel. These days he’s out just once or twice a week.
