DOI:10.5958/0976-4666.2016.00032.2
Abstract:
The present study has been done in three hotspots areas of ornamental fish production and trade in India Viz. Kolkata (West Bengal), Chennai and Mumbai. The sociometric study revealed that the ornamental fishery is a male oriented activity in all the three study locations, but it holds as primary occupation only in case of Chennai. Moreover, it has been observed that the source of information was mainly from informal sources comprising of friends and relatives. Ornamental fisheries were primarily driven by own funding in all the three locations. Furthermore, the Pentagon diagram of the DFID model shows that all the five capital assets of Chennai are proportionately networked which is not such case of Kolkata (West Bengal) and Mumbai which revealed that the activity was more organized and coordinated in Chennai as compared to other two locations.
