Inaugurating the Matsyafed fish mart at Co-operative Bank, Channapetta, he added that the government has been implementing various projects to promote aquaculture at homes.
“Chemical-free seafood will increase various possibilities in the tourism sector. Making quality fish available to the public is the objective of the fish marts run by Matsyafed. Encouraging aquaculture will increase our piscean wealth, making sure the fish reaching our markets are safe and poison-free,” he said.

“The fish available in Matsyafed fish marts are directly sourced from fishers. Since there are no middlemen, the quality is assured,” said Ms.Chinchu Rani. Matsyafed had recently opened fish marts in Kollam, Pathanamthitta and Ernakulam districts in association with service co-operative banks.
