The retail price of Hamour, one of the most sought after varieties of fish is likely to cross QR100 per kg in the coming days, traders said.
The price of the fish was QR90 per kg at the Doha Central Market and a little more at the retail outlets outside, they said.
They attributed the jump in the price to the growing demand for the fish in the second half of the holy month of Ramadan as well to the dwindling catch owing to extremely windy conditions in the last few days.
The windy weather has seriously hit fishing for more than 72 hours, and the situation is not likely to improve at least until tomorrow, sources said.
Also because of the hot weather, most fishermen have reduced the quantum of their catch, the sources added.
They may reduce it further in the coming days as a significantly large section of the regular customers among the expatriates have already left the country on vacation.
Shamal Safi was priced at about QR50 per kg and Mackerel QR17 yesterday.
Curiously enough, King fish was comparatively cheaper yesterday and it was available at about QR33/kg. However, it is expected that falling availability may push up the prices in the next few days.
