Abstract
Marine fish is a relatively unexploited source for meeting the deficient protein supply problem in the country. An important consideration in this respect is the technology mix to be used. In this article relative economics of the alternative technologies currently in use for production and processing of marine fish have been analyzed. The trawler operation could not be completely analyzed because of poor accounts keeping by the relevant agencies which imply that the project is not being well managed. Mechanized and sail boats are respectively capital and labour intensive techniques and input-output ratios are the same for both type of boats but mechanized boat can produce much higher output per time unit. Most of the processing plants are heavily underutilized due to shortage of fish. It has been concluded that appropriate steps should be taken to economically operate the trawler project and expand the rate of boat mechanization for expanding fish production both for fresh sale and for better utilization of the processing plants.
