Kolkata: The Novel Corona Virus (nCoV) scare has made an adverse impact on the export of sea fishes to China from Digha. The local businessmen who are involved in the export of sea fishes to China from Digha Mohana and Sankarpur areas are eyeing a huge loss as the export of fishes has stopped completely, following the corona virus threat. The fishermen used to export catfish, octopus, ribbon fish, various types of shrimps, sole fish, black eel, yellow eel and Chinese pomfret to China. A huge amount of the catch is getting destroyed as there are no buyers for such fish in Bengal. The corona virus scare has taken a heavy toll on the lives of fishermen in the region," said a senior member of Digha Fishermen and Fish Traders Association..
