Abstract Technological information needs of fish processors were studied by selecting a sample of 43 fish processors. The results revealed that the mean information need index was 63.60%. Though the average information need quotient (INQ) values ranged from 52.90 to 82.79 for the five major subject areas, the 'F' was found to be non-significant (F=1.53). Of the 40 specific subject items, the INQs were high (86.05 to 100) in ten subject items while they were low (23.6 to 37.21) in seven subject items. It was seen that the variables viz. type of processing unit, production capacity and number of freezers were found to have positive association with information need.
