| Abstract: |
Various dried fish products are available in Nepalese markets. The information on diversity and
marketing system of dried fish products in the country is scanty. Survey on dried fish was carried
out in 19 districts to elucidate the species diversity, market channels and consumer’s preference
of dried fish. Exotic species such as Harpodon nehereus, Penaeus spp., Stolephorus spp. imported
from several Asian countries shares approximately 70 percent of the dried fish market of the country.
The dried fish products available in the market are in the form of sun-dried, smoked, spicy instant
fish and fish pickle. Marketing system of dried fish varies for indigenous captured fish, cultured fish
and imported fish. Price of dried fish varied greatly being high in rainy season associated with short
supply and increased demand, and relatively low during winter months because of excess supply.
Survey findings indicated that consumer’s preference on dried fish species is different with their
different believes, traditional knowledge and eco-region. However, quality of dried fish available
in market is a concern |
