Abstract

The fish supply in the country has continued to show unprecedented growth over the last two decades. However, the fish demand exhibits wide variation across/ within the different states, seasons, and species. For millennia, fish has been acknowledged as a great human food source and is valued as a complete diet. Since high malnutrition levels are linked to higher child mortality, this would ensure that the fisheries sector contributes to meeting the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs: Goal 4- Reducing child mortality; Goal 5- Improved maternal health). Telangana is one of the main fish-producing and consuming states in the nation, where the per capita fish consumption of fish is one and half times the national average. The demand and supply relations are on par over the years.
