Low purchasing power is a factor to a greater or lesser extent hindering the increase of fish or fish products consumption in most of the Indian Ocean countries. Mass production is one answer to this problem; but if the resources of the waters are limited, other solutions must be sought in better storage, processing, and distribution techniques. Continuing detailed statistical studies should be undertaken, and the study of the economic effects of each planned investment should precede actual spending in order to avoid unneeded or excess facilities. Improved lines of communication can change patterns of distribution and storage, though the trade in fish products alone can rarely justify heavy capital expenditure such as a new or resurfaced road. Most traditional processing is done to avoid losses on unsold fish, not necessarily to enhance the value of the fish. Better techniques to process fish and eliminate much spoilage do not require heavy investment and can be effectively utilised in small-scale home or workshop industry. Improved handling of fish on board and ashore can eliminate wastage and provide a more wholesome products. Regulation of handling and processing conditions is essential, particularly for products intended for export. Traditional practices to some extent restrict the growth of fishe ries industries. Cooperatives, if well financed and guided, can help in integrating the industry. International trade among Indian Ocean countries, as well as export trade from them to industrialised countries, can be profitable and help to provide better supplies for local populations.
