Tridge summary

Adverse weather conditions in the Black Sea for the past five days have negatively impacted fishing, leading to empty fish stalls and a significant increase in the price of anchovy and bonito. Fishermen are currently struggling to make ends meet as they are unable to go out to sea due to the weather, and when they do, they are returning with empty boats.

The situation is particularly difficult for the middle and lower classes as they are already struggling financially.
