MARGAO
The new fishing season began on a dull note with mechanized boats either returning with korbott (mixed fish) or small quantities of the prized solar shrimp.
A visit to the Cutbona fishing jetty on Wednesday revealed that only a small fleet of mechanized fishing boats had ventured out into the sea on Day One of the fishing season.
In fact, a majority of the big boats were found anchored at the Cutbona fishing jetty for want of manpower.
And, vessels that had ventured out in the sea only returned with a small catch of the solar shrimp or mixed fish.
A traditional fisherman informed that his fishing boat had netted around 400-500 kgs of solar shrimp.
Some of the boat owners informed that they will venture out in the sea only after the arrival of the migrant workers.
