r Mahon also known as Perry is a retail vendor also known as a Fishmonger at the Carenage Fishing Centre (CFC). Perry has been a part of the fishing industry for over 30 years, and based on his experience, the industry has changed drastically. The number of fish vendors since his entrance has increased. The price of fish also heightened from
$2.00 - $2.50 then to $10.00 per pound presently. Fish like Jashwa and Herring that are usually given away at no cost, now have a price per pound of $10.00. The development of CFC has changed the game for the vendors as the pre-existing structure was insufficient in size and had numerous safety issues. These complications
