| description | The Bay of Bengal is an important resourceful asset of Bangladesh, which has a lot of impact
on the economy through its proper use. Marine fish and fishermen are the essential mechanisms
for the economy. Thus, the investigation was undertaken to explore the assessment of marine
fishing performance and fish marketing channels. Two marine fishing locations and 90 marine
fishermen were selected. Information was gathered with a structured interview schedule. About
50% of fishing crafts were large; 8 to 17 fishermen operated those in the deep region of the
Bay of Bengal and the majority of them (52.2%) were rented. About 48% of fishermen used
their gear, 51% had large gear mostly rented and 54.4% received loans with interest from
traders, banks, and NGOs. Shrimp/prawn production is lucrative for marine fishers and
supportive of the national economy. The major problems faced by most of the fishermen of the
two locations were the weather, engine breakdown, and prohibition of fishing time and Robbers
in the Moheshkhali deep sea, whereas the use of pass cards, wild animals, protection by forest
office and use of poison in Mongla. There are four marketing channels for marine fish and
most (81%) sell to the whole sellers. A present marine fish marketing channel is more timeconsuming
for a great number of intermediaries, insufficient road links and landing
points/centers. To minimize this problem, modern information technology should be
introduced, set up collective markets at coastal landing places, and reduce the number of
middlemen. |
