Abstract (Original Language): 
The present article focuses on the background and socio-economic conditions of fisher folk in coastal district of Ganjam. The study was a component of Potential Fishing Zone (PFZ) utilization and validation programme funded by Indian National Center for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS). The feedback was collected during 2003-2005 by means of one-to-one interaction and awareness campaigns conducted in different villages and landing centers. The study confirms poor catch during bad weather conditions, turtle mass nesting, invasion of coastal area by Andhra trawlers, missile training and medical problems. These were the key factors responsible for economic condition of the fishermen.
