Dr. J. Josephine Daisy

Abstract :

Fisheries Cooperatives are to provide employment to fishing community through fishing and marketing of fish. They have the mandate of preserving and developing the indigenous fish varieties and go for exotic varieties without affecting the ecological balance. They operate on a small scale and need the support of other development interventionists to go for large scale production, processing and marketing of fish and fish products. Wherever we have natural and artificial water reservoirs, we can go for fisheries cooperatives. Fisheries Cooperatives create employment, ensure food security, and provide a better way for preservation and use of precious water resources for multiple purposes. Though fishing is the eadwinning business of the entire population of Mettur taluk, Salem, Tamilnadu, it has not improved the standard of living of the local people. In spite of their hard work through out the year, they always fight for the existence and survival. In Mettur taluk, fishing is one of the major occupations. Due to lack of social awareness of the fish vendors, the development of business is not effective and they face a lot of problems. In this paper we are going to discuss about the prospectus and problem of marketing fish in Mettur.
