Abstract

The post-harvest fisheries sector in South India is an extremely complex one, embracing as it does a large network of handlers, auctioneers. processors. petty fish traders, transporters, wholesalers and retailers. Increased commercialisation of the marine fish catch, although benefitting fisherfolk through the higher prices they receive for fish, has tended to displace other income-generating activities derived from the fish resource in traditional fishing communities’. This has affected the women most, as they find themselves less able to afford the purchase of fresh fish at the landing.
