Jaze Fishing Corporation

The Jaze Fishing Corporation is the largest privately owned Fishing company in Akarv, and one of the overall largest and most successful enterprises in the nation. When Akarv resettled in New Voldrania one of the primary challenges was food reserves. During the original exodus time was taken to create massive stores of food for the settlers. In the rushed exodus brought on by the Fall of Voldrania, however, there was much less time to prepare food stores.
Responding to this necessity, businessman Franklin Jaze used some of his preexisting wealth to invest in fishing trawlers from Llysos in 61 AE, starting a small business gathering fish in the nearby bay. The people of Akarv had found a small amount of stability by the end of 61 AE, and the currency had been maintained in order to maintain a level of consistency. So Jaze began selling fish, albeit cheaply, to those partaking in the construction efforts.
Unlike other successful early businesses, such as the Khan Restaurant chain, the "Jaze Fishing Corporation" was not a dining establishment. They merely caught and sold fish, doing nothing to prepare it for consumption. As time passed the Jaze Fishing Corporation became infamous as one of the major food suppliers in New Akarv, and the Government even contracted the company to provide food for various projects.
By 65 AE the Jaze Fishing Corporation had turned the makeshift docks it had utilized into a full fledged private port, with several ships bearing the "JFC" logo making routine trips to deliver what they'd caught. Markets and restaurants, such as Khan Restaurants, began to exclusively purchase their seafood stock from the Jaze Fishing Corporation. While much of the seafood they produce is preserved and shipped further inland, typically only food providers in Northern Akarv are close enough to receive fresh seafood.
In 71 AE the Jaze Fishing Corporation expanded its business and began offering non-employees "Fishing Experiences". Despite being a largely coastal, residents of Alred City typically have no experience with sport fishing. Assuming they lack the time or ability to do so on their own, the Jaze Fishing Corporation constructed private docks along the River of Akarv where citizens can pay to both receive lessons and fish the river with supervision. This side of the industry has seen moderate success, but typically only finds its business in first time fishers, with repeat customers being rare.
