The present study was undertaken to analyze the constraints involved in production and marketing of inland fish in Vijayapura and Bagalkote districts of the Northern Dry Zone of Karnataka. The study was based on primary data and the simple random sampling procedure was adopted to choose inland fish farmers and marketing intermediaries. The major constraints faced by respondents in production and marketing of inland fish are high mortality of fish, non-availability of quality fish seed, inadequate financial assistance, high perishability of produce, huge competition, lack of proper storage facilities etc.Provision of need based training to the fish farmers can enhance the returns from fish farming as well as can encourage the farmers to invest further and providing scientific storage facilities to the marketing intermediaries helps to handle the produce in large quantity and leads to improve in fish production.
