I did my Research in Fisheries Economics on the Title "Marine Fisheries Finance in Kanyakumari District - An Economic Study" under the guidance of Dr.S.V.Hariharan, School of Economics, Madurai Kamaraj University. Important findings of my study are: 1.Marine Fishing is one of the important industries of Kanyakumari District which provides employment, income and livelihood for the rural masses in the coastal villages. 2. Insufficient fianancial outlay is the main cause for the existing poor financial, marketing and other infrastructure facilities. 3. Out of 44 fishermen villages only 5 have banking facilities. Because of this, the fisherfolk have to depend mostly on informal credit.
