熊本県八代市にある港の市場は、7月の大きな地震で建物の壁などが壊れました。
電気や水道は使うことができたため、地震の2日あとから、市場は仕事を始めました。
21日も、近くの海でとれたクロダイやタチウオなどの魚が市場に来ました。
地震で家が壊れて、魚をとる仕事ができない人もいます。このため、市場の魚の量は、地震の前よりも、30%ぐらい減っています。
市場の人は「魚の量は前より少ないですが、市場の仕事を続けたいです」と話しました。

The market at the port in Yatsushiro City, Kumamoto Prefecture, had its walls and other structures damaged by a large earthquake in July. Since electricity and water were available, the market began operations two days after the earthquake. On the 21st, fish such as black sea bream and cutlassfish caught in nearby seas arrived at the market. Some people's homes were destroyed by the earthquake, making it impossible for them to work in fishing. As a result, the amount of fish at the market has decreased by about 30% compared to before the earthquake. A market representative said, 'The amount of fish is less than before, but we want to continue the market's operations.'
