Fishermen and others involved in the business have tided over the demonetisation issue by operating on credit or accepting ban­ned notes. While those bringing fish to the shore are accepting cash in any denomination, agents who sell the supply to smaller fishermen are accepting the devalued notes against an assurance of adjusting the cha­nge in future dealings. Small fishermen are insisting on R100 notes while selling fish to customers in markets and those supplying to hotels are taking payment in cheque.
