GHANA FISHING

Fish is laid out for sale at the market in Elmina, about 130km west of Ghana's capital Accra on Thursday April 9, 2009. In Ghana, women are usually responsible for selling the fish caught by their husbands. Some local fishermen complain that the recent reduction in fish populations is not only making it more difficult for them to support their family, but also often a cause of tension and conflict between husband and wife.
