of NSSO data shows that household domestic consumption of fish is projected to rise
Opportunities
By 2020, India's seafood exports will double and cross the $10
billion mark and by next year, the (export) number will cross $5.3 billion"
Increase in the demand for sea food New technologies and researches done around the world Aquaculture gain importance
Threats
Challenging environmental conditions Increase in pollution cause the decline of fish Increase Total
in number of industries and unscientific methods that destroy the habitat of fishes to breed and reproduce fish processing and storage facility in Kerala is grossly inadequate compared to the potential for fish production and processing exports to South East Asia are re-exported after processing. Vietnam a small country has created vast capacity in fish processing and is importing raw material to re-export it after processing.

Technological Aspects
The The
lack of storage facilities and processing plants lead to inefficient supply chains of the sector fishermen do not have the sophisticated and technically advanced equipment to tackle the emerging situation. in the communication sector has brought both advantages and disadvantages.

Most exports are in the form of frozen fish Open sun dried fish and fish meal are the only major exceptions
Environmental Aspects
