This paper describes the marketing organization of a large fish landing centre (Madras fishing harbour) and describes in particular the role of women in the marketing business. Previous studies conducted by BOBP dealt with the role of women in marketing of fish at small village landing centres (see BOBP/WP/14 “Three fishing villages in Tamil Nadu’ and BOBP/WP/33 --“Factors that influence the role and status of fisherwomen”). The present study, carried out mid -1984, indicates that while the m odernization of fishing technology and fish transport noticed at a large landing centre has benefited some women by way of higher earnings or new earning opportunities, it has aggravated income disparities among fisherwomen.
