Observations were made at three Centro, Santo Antônio and Betânia district fairs. Note that the hygienic and sanitary conditions of the workers are precarious; in one of the fairs, it was possible to verify the protective equipment such as gloves, caps, the presence of animals near the window where the fish is exposed for sale, styrofoam boxes used for the storage in an inappropriate state, dirty and the company of parcels with fish on the floor without any secondary packaging for protection.
