Abstract

Kerala’s population is essentially a fish eating population with the level of fish consumption four times that of national average. The fish consumption stood at 26 kg per capita per annum (Shyam, 2012). The domestic market for fish in Kerala is governed not only by the purchasing power of the consumers but also by their tastes and preferences. The domestic market for fish in Kerala is inelastic both in terms of income and price. The marine fish consumption is predominant in coastal districts since marine fishes are prone to deterioration in quality during long distance transport to the land locked and hilly regions. However, the demand for fish in these regions was met through inland and cultured freshwater species.
