Look at those fish! It takes them around 3 to 5 months to grow that big. We pay attention to how much fish are selling for, and then call the fish seller. He buys them for around 30 or 40 rupees per kilogram (about 66 to 88 US cents).

If we sold them ourselves at market, we might get around 23 or 24 rupees per kilogram after expenses because it costs money to transport the fish and have a stall.

The extra money we make goes back into our society projects. Families with members who are sick or handicapped get a free ration of fish, and we also sell the fish to our neighbours at half price.
