The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) has cautioned that engaging in sales of dead fishes which were washed ashore under mysterious circumstances could lead to a four-year jail sentence.
Deputy Chief Executive, Food Division at the FDA, Roderick Daddey-Adjie, told JoyNews that those who deal in fish trade should desist from such practices.
“If you are intentionally doing this thing, knowing or unknowingly and the law grabs you, you stand the possibility of conviction to a term of four years imprisonment or a fine or you get both as the judge deems fit,” he said.
The warning comes on the back of recent reports indicating that some people have collected scores of dead fishes and dolphins washed ashore on beaches in the Greater Accra and Western Regions over the weekend.
