      abstract = {This paper examines the efficiency of fish marketing at  Bhubaneswar city. A sample of 5 wholesalers, 5 commission  agents and 40 retailers were taken for primary data  collection on.prices of fish and marketing costs. The  channel III shows that 85 percent of the demand for fish  was met by fish producers of Andhra Pradesh. The producers'  share in consumers rupee was highest for local producers  and lowest for non local producers. The largest component  of price spread and net margin was attributed to retailers  followed by wholesalers and commission agents. The net  income of non local producers-cum-wholesalers was found to  be highest because they handle larger quantity of fish.  Also, the return to one rupee investment was recorded to be  more than 100 percent. There exists a scope of earning  super normal profit by intermediaries because market was  not perfectly competitive. It is recommended that  government should formulate suitable aqua price policy for  eliminating imperfection from the market.},
