The ‘Matsyafed’ in Kerala is a:

Fishermen cooperative
Fish processing unit
Marine research institute
Government regulatory body Answer: a

The correct answer is: a) Fishermen cooperative.

Matsyafed is a state-level fishermen cooperative society in Kerala, India. It was established in 1974 with the objective of promoting the welfare of fishermen and their families. Matsyafed is involved in a variety of activities, including fish marketing, fish processing, and fish seed production. It also provides financial assistance to fishermen and their families.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • b) Fish processing unit: A fish processing unit is a facility that processes fish into various products, such as fillets, canned fish, and fishmeal. Matsyafed does not have a fish processing unit.
  • c) Marine research institute: A marine research institute is an institution that conducts research on marine life and the marine environment. Matsyafed is not a marine research institute.
  • d) Government regulatory body: A government regulatory body is a government agency that is responsible for regulating a particular industry or sector. Matsyafed is not a government regulatory body.
