“…Finally, mechanized vessel operating fishermen also expressed that lack of government support is a constraint, with a Garrett score of 24.78. Patilkhede B. et al (2018) [13] recorded that there were no schemes for fishermen as a third major social constraint, as stated by 77.92% of respondents. Furthermore, the research revealed that 68.33% of fishers also perceived inadequate subsidies and incentives as an economic limiting factor.…”

“…Finally, mechanized crafts rank sixth with a Garrett score of 56.88. Patilkhede B. et al (2018) [13] listed the lack of credit as a significant economic constraint reported by 80.41% of fishermen. Reza S. et al (2015) also identified the lack of credit as a constraint in their study area.…”

“…(2018) [13] observed that the absence of pricing and market data has diminished the bargaining power of fishermen, leading them to rely on intermediaries for price setting and impacting their income. Inadequate infrastructure, such as cold storage facilities, drying and processing areas, jetties, and weighing facilities, has resulted in "distress selling."…”

“…Kanaga, V., and Sivasankar, P. (2015) [11] noted a considerable rise in fishing vessels, leading to an IV constraint with a Garrett score of 53.35. The survey by Patilkhede B. et al (2018) [13] documented that 70% of the interviewed fishermen reported experiencing conflicts in the fishing region.…”

This research seeks to pinpoint and prioritize the obstacles fishing vessels operating in the marine waters off West Bengal face. It was carried out across nine Fish Landing Centers (FLCs) in Purba Medinipur (4) and South 24 Paraganas (5) districts of West Bengal. These FLCs were chosen based on the type of vessels utilized: mechanized, motorized, and traditional. Ten fishermen from each type of vessel were selected from each FLC, resulting in a total sample size of 150 respondents for the survey. The study utilized the Henry Garrett ranking technique to assess and categorize fishermen's constraints when fishing. The results of the analysis show that a significant hindrance for non-motorized fishing vessels is the decrease in catch due to overfishing, habitat degradation, or environmental changes. Moreover, the increase in diesel prices poses a significant challenge for motorized and mechanized fishing vessels. Common issues for all fishing vessels include high labour and input costs, fluctuations in market demand, and the scarcity of pricing and market data. The study also identified middlemen prevalence and the absence of government support as substantial constraints impacting fishermen's fishing activities. Additionally, the study highlighted the need for adequate infrastructure, such as landing centers and marketing facilities, to address the challenges fishermen face in West Bengal. Constraint analysis offers a comprehensive understanding of fishermen's diverse difficulties, providing valuable insights for developing targeted interventions and support measures to enhance the sustainability and resilience of marine fishing operations in the region.

Maharashtra is one of the important state with respect to fisheries considering its vast fisheries resources. Several fisheries development programmes are implemented in the state for development of inland fisheries. The DoF officials are striving hard for development of fisheries in the state. The DoF officials face constraints and these can differ as per water body and the type of fisheries being practiced there. Present study was carried out with the objective of assessing the constraints faced by the DoF officials in the Vidarbha region of Maharashtra. A total of 48 constraints were categorized under seven heads -'Extension and Training' (08), 'Administrative & Management' (11), 'Technical' (06), 'Input Supply' (06), 'Financial' (06), 'Communication and Human Relations' (07) and 'Social' (04). Information was collected from 32 DoF officials from 11 districts of Vidarbha region of Maharashtra. The responses were statistically analyzed using weighted average technique and Friedman test. Maximum severity score was 12.8 and minimum was 0. The results revealed that, administrative and management constraints were severe with score 8.63/10. All other constraints had medium score.

Maharashtra is one of the important state with respect to fisheries considering its vast fisheries resources. Several fisheries development programmes are implemented in the state for development of inland fisheries. With the implementation of schemes like Blue revolution and Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana (PMMSY), more numbers of stakeholders are seen to be involved as beneficiaries of schemes in fisheries sector. Present study was carried out with the objective of assessing the constraints faced by the beneficiaries in the Vidarbha region of Maharashtra. A total of 35 constraints were categorized under five heads -'Extension' (07), 'Financial' (06), 'Infrastructure' (07), 'Core Fisheries' (07) and 'Administrative' constraints' (08). Information was collected from 450 beneficiaries from 11 districts of Vidarbha region of Maharashtra. The responses were statistically analyzed using weighted average technique and Friedman test. Maximum severity score was 180 and minimum was 0. The results revealed that, overall severity of constraints among the beneficiaries was found to be medium. However, among these, financial constraints (107.89) and administrative constraints (94.05) were found to be more severe than other constraints.
