A study was conducted to assess the constraints faced by ornamental fish producers in Mumbai and Thane districts of Maharashtra state. A total of 30 ornamental fish producers out of 90 were taken as sample for the study and data was collected through semi-structured interview schedule. Constraints faced by them were classified as production constraints, knowledge constraints, marketing constraints and financial constraints. It was found that less water supply, less availability of live food and unsubsidized electricity supply were the main constraints. Low selling price of fish and large number of middlemen were hindering factors in marketing of ornamental fish. Also, lack of special trainings, non-availability of crop insurance schemes and less credit facility were other major constraints faced by ornamental fish producers. Constraints faced by them need to be effectively addressed by Government and policy makers. Continuous supply of water, availability of live food and supply of electricity at a rate par with agriculture sector is needed. Marketing of fish by forming marketing cooperative societies and innovative ways like mobile apps should be explored. Organization of special trainings in the field of breeding technology, live food development and health management are needed. State Government can pursue crop insurance schemes and banks/other financial institutions on offer credits.
