THE?supermarket-type metal trolleys which fish vendors used for several years to carry fish have been completely removed from markets.
The DAILY?NATION?was informed that over 100 trolleys were confiscated from the Bridgetown Fisheries Complex and about 60 from Berinda Cox Fish Market in Oistins, Christ Church.
The two markets, in particular, have come under scrutiny from health officials who determined that the trolleys were unsuitable to be used in the fish trade as they were contaminated with bacteria.
Vendors had protested earlier this year when they were first informed of the move to confiscate the trolleys, with one fish vendor charging that he would challenge the decision in court.
They were given until March 1 to get rid of the metal trolleys and replace them with plastic ones.
