Marine capture fishery in India is facing issues of
unsustainability in terms of declining catch per unit
effort and over-capitalization. Attempts to address
the issue largely hovered around technology solu tions and regulations on fishing activities. The role
of stakeholder participation and market forces most
prominently reflected by the income of the stake holders are conspicuous by its absence. In this
background, the study inquired the hypothesis that
reforms in fish marketing regulations can serve a
useful role in ensuring sustainable fishing. The
hypothesis is tested by using field-level data on
market intervention in marine fisheries by the
Government of Kerala, India during the COVID-19,
and the response of fishers towards it. The study
points towards favourable attitude of fishers, par ticularly the traditional fishers, towards the new
system. The results highlight that simultaneous
reforms in fishing regulations and markets have
generated income stream with less variability while
reducing fishing pressure.
