Abstract: Market integration is measured as an interrelationship between price movements for the produce in two or more selected markets. The present study was conducted during the year 2012–13 and an atiempt has been made to examine the existence of integrati on, the degree of competi tiveness and concentration of market power between the three diff erent major ornamental fish markets in India viz. Howrah (Kolkata), Kolathur (Chennai) and Kurla (Mumbai). The selected ornamental fish markets were found to be integrated verti cally to a good extent as more than 60 percent performed more than one function but horizontal integration is found to be negligible.
