Abstract
Almost all shrimps landed in India are processed and exported frozen. A survey was undertaken to estimate the idle capacity existing in the fish processing (freezing) plants in India. Results indicate substantial underutilization of the plants exists. Constraints faced by the fish processors and some remedial measures to reduce the idle capacity are discussed
