Abstract: | The study on fish marketing system in Dhanusha district was carried out to know about different fish market, the channel of fish distribution as well as rate and production of different fishes. The data for the present study was collected visiting different fish markets and taking interview with the fish contractor. The study reveals that in Dhanusha districts there are 85 hat bazaars and the fish-marketing channel was found to be zero level. Annual fish production is 2239 metric ton form 647 hacters in 2010 in Dhanusha district. Production of hatchlings was 3,02,00000, fry was 16,06,000 & fingerlings was 70,000 from Fishery Development and Training Centre in 2010. Some private sectors are also involved in the production of fry and fingerlings in Dhanusha district. All together 33 species of fishes have been recorded from different fish markets of the district. The cost price of fishes varies from species to species and depends on their consumption rate. The rate of almost fishes increases by 20%-25% from production site while reaching to the market. The average rate of Rohu fish was 270/kg, Naini was 250/kg & Bhakura was 250/kg. Socio-economic condition of fishermen of Dhanusha district is not very good. Scarcity of fish seed, fish feed, poisoning of ponds by people are the problems in fish farming. Ice factories are very few in number, which also create problem in fish preservation. |
