Bros,as it is now melauge is more sought after,infact buyers now run away from Big (table size)fishes. If your fish is above 1.5kg,u'll hardly see buyer oh. The market is kinda saturated now,everybody is now into fish farming.

different reasons,best known to each individual into the business. I know of a guy that doesn't buy anything below 1kg ,he buys upto 3tons and pays cash. According to him,it sells faster. There's still market for fishes above 2kg,but its not everybody that has the patience. Buyers of bigger fishes has a way of buying,for instance;for your fish to be classified as Big, 13pieces must make 25kg.

hmmm... i guess we can then say the market is segmented along those lines. so what are the likely market demand projections for melange and large size fishes looking into the future, say 3-5 years from now?
