Abstract: The purpose of the paper is to explore trends and demand of Indian marine fisheries and seafood exports to the USA and Japan. We have identified various parameters that affect the demand of these products from India. The results show that the factors like population and exchange rates have a positive effect on India's export demand. This varies significantly among the USA and Japan due to different food requirements and the variety of products being exported from India. The USA primarily imports the crustacean and specialty segment of marine and seafood products whereas Japan imports almost all types of products.

Keywords: marine fisheries; seafood products; exports; regression analysis; India; USA; United States; Japan; food requirements; marine products.
