8.6 Fish Bone Analysis
Also called as “Ishikawa diagram”, the fishbone diagram is an analysis tool that provides a
systematic way of looking at effects and the causes that create or contribute to those effects. It
helps to visually display many potential causes for a specific problem or effect.
Figure 8.1 Fish bone analysis
The analysis has been taken to enhance understanding of livelihood context of the fisherman. The
analysis helps to understand the ‘causes’ that contribute to the effect i.e. ‘poor livelihood’ of the
fisherman. The causes that have been observed during the ‘quasi participant’ discussions
throughout the primary study are listed below –
1. Exploitation by the supply chain
2. Lack of Information
3. Poor infrastructure
4. Outdated technology
5. Low pricing
6. Social factors
7. Government policy, rules and regulation
Exploitation by the supply chain
The exploitation of the fisherman is prevalent in both Puri and Ganjam district by the other
dominant actors of the supply chain. The oligopoly of the few middlemen has distorted the
profitability balance in their favour. This has supplemented the distortion and inequality in the
chain and reduced the say of the fisherman in the supply chain.
