Men untangle nets before go out to fish on the Arauca river in El Yagual in the state of Apure

Men untangle nets before go out to fish on the Arauca river in El Yagual in the state of Apure November 4, 2014. Some inhabitants of Venezuela’s savannah heartlands struggling to survive the national economic crisis have found a novel way to make ends meet – fish-smuggling to Colombia. While contraband of gasoline and medicine has been going on for years, little is known about the burgeoning trade in fresh-water fish by Venezuelans who pile tons onto motorised canoes and traverse dangerous waterways for days into Colombia.
