Fish marketing and its pricing are subjects
ye seldom been seriously discussed in
s is mainly because the species and
that cater to the zkmxsii and aport
ts are quite distinct. Fish production in
a is from three sources - marine, inland fresh
atcr bodies and coastal aquaculture. While the
portion of fish that finds its way to the
t"ia from the marine sector, coastal
uaculture stocks are the backbone of the ici & ihd ii
pbp~ctor. Fresh water fishes also command
local and international market ( Krishpan
1997). But the new trade regime
has had a tremendous impact
and quality of seafood thai is
country. This paper examines
&e impacts from the angle of the availability of
sbpply of fish for the domestic market, the
,quanlity of fish that is exporied as 4 proportion
gof'fish'that is landed, the prices of fish, the
eaMtngs from fishing as an avocation, the
returns to investment in fishery and the
estimated supply and demand projections as a
tool to arrive at conclusions that would help
determine the necessity of a price policy for fish. Fish being a highly perishable
co&"odityl, price is not only a function of
supply and demand but also of preservation.
Therefore a price policy for fish has to be
analysed from the pint of view of :

domestic market.

destined for the domestic market and those
that are export&. The relationship of supply
that is ayailable to the domestic maw and
the percentage of which is exported.
3. the wages thai accrue to the fish wmkm~
4. the cost benefit of marind aquaculture
operations.
