Description Fisheries and aquaculture are the critical sources of nutrition, livelihood, and income-making venture in many low-income and developing countries. In India, it acts as a major sector with huge export potential. Though the nation has created a significant market niche for fresh and processed fish products, the marketing sector is not exempted from intermediary people’s exploitation. In the present study, attempts were made to compare the cost of production and net income of fish growers and processors and map various channels of peri-urban areas. A significant difference was observed in the cost of production of fish growers and processors (t = 5.630, p < 0.05), whereas no significant difference was observed in terms of net income ((t = 1.453, p=.171). Three different marketing channels were identified among fish growers and fish processors. Producers’ share in consumers’ price was varied from 50.44 percent to 100 percent in different channels. The study further revealed that the marketed and marketable surplus availability of the produced fish (mean rank 11.25) is the primary element motivating the fish farmers to opt for value addition.
