People ride on a motorcycle after buying goods at PDVAL, a state-run grocery store, at El Yagual in the state of Apure November 13, 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.
