(( a small paper could be done on seasonality in this area: examples, lack of fish in rainy season, lack of salt in rainy season, tamlak fish in rainy season only, difficulty in attaining fishing materials + drying fish pots in rainy reason, agriculture only in the rainy season, etc. ))

- he therefore must he says put aside enough savings (menabung) in the dry season to live off in the rainy season 
- formerly Sucipto made dried salt fish but got out of that business because too much competition
- a packer can pack 40 kwalis of small fish or 60-70 kwalis of larger fish a day
