The demand for fish in the region has increased due to the decrease in the temperature during the two weeks.

The sale of different kinds of fish including Dambra, Rohu, Mahasher, Thela fish, Salmon, Silver and common Carp, has increased as people throng to fish sale points all over the districts.

Fish sale remained five times high this winter as compared to past mainly owing to its affordable prices,"President fish market Sukkur Qurban Ali Mirani said, while talking to APP here on Thursday.

Commenting on low prices, he said that a number of fish sellers directly purchased fish from farms of Shiakrpur, Jaccababad, kashmore- Kandhkot and Sukkur districts instead of the whole-sale market, passing on the price benefit to the consumers.
