They allow controlled fishing of the pirarucú
This fish “was on the verge of disappearing, but now there is Excess of population. And what they are doing is they have reached an agreement. They have allowed fishing once a year the 30th%”. In this way, he has said, “fashion is benefiting from this because in New York, the scale skin of this fish is highly valued.”
Among other garments, “with that thick pirarucú skin they are making boots, bags and wallets of all colors and they even pay 800 euros in the Big Apple for a bag made of pirarucú”
