Supply chain is a burning issue in the new era of global business. Organizations always try to make the supply chain efficient to ensure maximum value to the final consumers. As a riverine country fishes play a vital role in the livelihood and food habit of Bangladesh. But no remarkable research work has been found on the supply chain of sea fishes of Bangladesh.This empirical research based on primary and secondary data depicts the supply chain of sea fishes of Bangladesh. Based on survey research techniques the researchers demonstrate the distribution channel of sea fishes from fishermen to final consumers. In Bangladesh, sea fishes are sold in more informal markets and its supply chains consist of a number or combination of mid-chain players who transform, package, and move product from the point of production to the final sales. But this existing supply chain is quite complex, lengthy and costly. This paper also highlights other underlying hindrances of the supply chain of sea fishes in Bangladesh. Besides, the authors proposed a new model which is free from the influence of intermediary and private parties. The new model incorporates and integrates an information technology based central distribution centre to make the supply chain more effective for all the related parties. But further research is required to find out the effectiveness and challenges of the proposed model.
