Abstract

For achievement of the target efficient production system and consumer satisfaction fish marketing is very crucial. From the producers to consumers who are involved in flow of the goods and services should be satisfied for making an ideal market. To analyse market behaviour for fish wholesale market and the socioeconomic status of fish marketers this study was carried out. For personal interview and primary data collection a random sampling technique was used to select a few market functionaries. By using descriptive statistical method, the primary data were analysed. The result shows that fish trade is carried out by mainly men and also women somewhere. The majority respondents have large family as while their education level is low.
