Fishermen fixing ‘Karkur’, a round metal fishing net, at the Al Wakrah fishing port yesterday. They say it is very hard to net catch from June to September, as fish move deeper due to high temperatures. The fishermen travel about 40 nautical miles from the coast and stay there for two to five days catching fish. (Salim Matramkot)
