Achievement/Findings:

In markets commodities, and buyers and sellers are in direct competition with each. Our fish markets are far below the world standard. The components of the marketing system may be categorized into five subsystems: producer, flow, functional, consumer and environmental and these work in harmony with one another. It is very much to be solicited that the fish handling sectors and the fish markets as well as the marketing systems work in concert with each other to achieve the modern standards in the near future.
