The findings reveal that most of the small-scale fishermen have been exploited by specific middlemen and the underlying causes of the present fish marketing structure stem from(i)indebtedness and(ii)the unstable situation because of perpetual conflicts over fishery resources among the fishers across Chilika lagoon. Based on these observations, this article presents some recommendations on fishery resource conservation from the perspective of a fish marketing structure. In a fish marketing economy, some studies illustrate that middlemen put pressure on small-scale fishermen to sell their entire catch at a lower price in every possible way (Flaherty and Samal 2005;Hirasawa 1992;Iwakiri and Neaz 1982;Misra 2002;Rubinoff 1999;Reis and DIncao 2000).It is commonly argued that middlemen exploit small-scale fishermen in the fish marketing process in combination with money lending. Maintenance of fishery livelihoods often requires the purchase or repair of fishing gears, these being high exhaustive goods. Moreover, fishermen are often forced to push things to the brink to ensure their livelihoods during the lean season. Hence, fishermen borrow m
