Retains the pride of

• Continued operation for the past 30 years

• Developing confidence in the minds of consuming public
• Customer satisfaction
• Deals both marine and fresh water fishes
• The only one public sector continuing the business of fresh fish marketing in
India for such a long period
• Pioneering venture for mobile sales of both fresh and ready-to-eat condition
• Able to compete in private cut-throat competition by means of confidence
building on Q & Q

Able to compete fresh water fish competition from neighbouring state – by highlighting the facts
of

• Pristine water fishes in prime condition

• Continued the activity, even without getting assistance for infrastructure for a
long time
• Continued the activity even when faced loss earlier – as it is viewed as “ Societal
Marketing”

 MARKETING OF VALUE ADDED FISH PRODUCTS

Value Addition - the need of the hour for nutritional security.

• The fishes, both marine and fresh water fishes are marketed by TNFDC, both in fresh
condition and in fried condition through the retail outlets.
• It is noted that even though low value fishes, both marine and inland fishes have the
nutritional value as that of high valued fishes, the customer / consumers do not prefer
them and as such most of them are discarded back into the sea by the boat owners or used
as poultry feed or as dried fish.
• By suitably converting the low-value fishes as ”value added fish product,” the consumers
may be made to use all the fishes, By this concept
• The nutritional value will be made known to the consumers
• Various recipes would be done to attract the consumers
• The fishermen will get the fair price for their catches
• Employment generation
• Ensuring nutritional security to the consumer at affordable price

 SHRIMP HATCHERY FACILITIES AT NEELANKARAI

• An unique centre for marine living resources enhancement

• The shrimp hatchery at Neelankarai was established by TNFDC in the sea shore.

phase and Rs.10.0 lakhs in the second phase) with centrally sponsored scheme with 50%
funding by GOI and 50% by Government of Tamilnadu.

Directions based on Coastal Zone Regulation Act, fall in price of shrimp in International
markets and due to disease attack on shrimps. All these aspects made the shrimp hatchery

them idle; the facilities were given to the organizations, attached to Government which is
taking massive programs in marine living resources enhancement.
