Abstract	The fishery sector plays an important role in the Indian economy by augmenting the food supply to the growing population. Reportedly, the fishery resources of the country are so vast of which only half of them alone have been exploited so far in India. Between the two sectors in fisheries namely, marine and inland, more than fifty per cent of the country’s fish production comes from marine sector but the proportion is comparatively higher in the states of Tamil Nadu and Kerala (75 per cent each). There is also an enormous scope of increasing inland fish production in these two states. In this context, it becomes very essential to investigate the problems and prospects of fishermen from time to time. This research paper attempts to examine and compare the problems and prospects of fishermen in the twin Districts, Nagapattinam and Cuddalore, of Tamil Nadu for suggesting remedial measures to overcome such challenges.
