The river fishery adds fresh food to the city's diet and work to its landing sites. Fishers need maintained boats and equipment, knowledge of local conditions and somewhere suitable to handle the catch. Food moves in insulated boxes toward Cold Store or a buyer. A delay between the landing and the customer can reduce the value of an entire trip.
Fish handling stays separate from dirty gear and general salvage. The boat may carry equipment on one trip and food on another, but those loads don't belong together without the appropriate handling. Reusable boxes help keep the catch contained as responsibility passes between businesses.
The fishery's supply varies. Weather, conditions and the available catch affect what comes to market, so fish supplements the city's staple foods rather than replacing them. The river also supports transport and other users. A working landing is valuable because it joins those routes to storage, buyers and the people who can keep the boats operating.
