Chhattisgarh is bordered by Bihar, Jharkhand and Uttar Pradesh in the north, Andhra Pradesh in the south, Orissa in the east and Chhattisgarh in the west. Fishermen of this area are mostly involved various technologies in fisheries over a period of time by trial and error, continuous observations, experiences and evaluation to use the traditional practices in this field. The fishermen from rural area may an important role in establishing smoked fish and demand of dried prawn in market and also holding strong traditional marketing system for wet and dried prawn and do sell it round the year.

The finding reveal that there is a good market, demand and price for almost all the Indian major carps, verities of indigenous local & catfishes. But, the supply is less as per demand and also poor due to environment of this local fish market.
