This paper reports on the results of survey among fisherwomen in Coastal Karnataka. Data was collected on the nature of their work, earnings and role in decision making by giving different weightage to individual activities. The study suggests that only 16 per cent of the women are fully involved in decision making, although their contribution to the family income and household work is substantial. There is a social stigma attached to fish marketing activities and the younger generation is not willing to enter the business. Government support in terms of subsidy does not help in improving social status. Employment generation by providing modern marketing facilities is required for improving the status of fisherwomen.
