Description Objectives: To assess the species and market diversity across the major
fish markets of Andhra Pradesh and Telengana in India. Methods/Statistical
analysis: The primary statistical tool of percentage analysis, diversity index and
constraint analysis has been carried out to assess various parameters of the
study. One of the major analysis employed diversity index method to assess the
diversification of fish markets which indicates the number of species available/
traded in a particular market as well as species diversity which indicates the
spatial distribution of a particular species across markets and Spearman Rank
Correlation Coefficient method is carried out to deduce the constraints in fish
trade by the traders across the major fish markets of Andhra Pradesh and
Telengana. Findings/Application: The study points out that the total species
traded across different fish markets of Andhra Pradesh and Telengana, inland
species (Catla, Rohu, Tilapia, Pangasius) are the most available and traded fishes
compared to other fishes traded/available across the markets. Markets had
been the major drivers for the fisheries production system channeling the
fish landed/produced in realizing the value. Thus, the price and demand of
a fish is influenced by market structure, seasonal abundance, and origin of
species, size and quality. Fish demand was sensitive to the price changes,
the inland fishes were the highly preferred fish species among consumers in
Andhra Pradesh and Telengana and its demand seemed to be low-responsive
to price changes, keeping the income constant. The study also analysed the
major constraints perceived by the different traders operating in Telengana
and Andhra Pradesh using the Spearman’s rank correlation method.
