Objective:1

To understand production instability of marine and inland fish after

globalization

Cuddy-Della valle index^2 = C.V.*(1 R^2)^0.5

The ranges of instability are as follows:
Low instability = between 0 to 15
Median instability = greater than 15 and lower than 30
High instability = greater than 30

Instability of inland fish production is 6.9727

Instability of marine fish production is 4.3669

Objective:2

To study different challenges in fish production and marketing in India

Challenges

Shortage of quality and healthy fish seeds and other critical inputs.

Lack of resource-specific fishing vessels.

Inadequate awareness about nutritional and economic benefits of fish.

Inadequate extension staff for fisheries and training for fishers and fisheries
personnel.

Low utilization and productivity of water bodies.

Market Intermediaries

During processing and storage

Risky credit-based market transactions

fish prices, price stability

Impose of Anti-dumping duty by US in 2004.

Japan and EU imposed strict quality control standards on Indian

Marine Products.
