In addition, Baan Pakklong Bang Sapnnoi fishers group, which is a big group, has members around 100 members. There are a lot of fishing gears in this group such as anchovy purse seine, anchovy castnet, bottom gill net, shrimp trammel net, squid trap and driving of sea urchin and clam. Now, this group has conflict among fishing gear, some small-scale fishermen complained anchovy castnet, because this fishing gear catch a lot of small fish such as small mackerel. According to this conflict, fishermen in this area have formed a new fishers group namely “Underwater resources (coral reef) conservation group of Baan Pakklong Bang Ssapannoi village” in 2011. There are 80 members, which compose of fishermen and owner of tourist boat. The objectives of this group are protecting coral reef and collection garbage underwater and beach.

For fish distribution, two middlemen and two companies were interviewed in this trip, one middleman buy soft cuttlefish, and another one middleman buy shrimp, blue swimming crab, squid and fish. One company buy soft cuttlefish and dry anchovy, and another one company buy only dry anchovy. At Baan Pakklong Bang Sapannoi village, middlemen have four fishermen. The middlemen sell to tourist and cold storage. The cold storage would buy soft cuttlefish 50-1000 kg per day from 3 big collectors and 2 small collectors. Soft cuttlefish frozen will be sent to main cold storage at Rayong Province, which export to Taiwan. In case of dry anchovy production, the cold storage company will buy from fishermen directly. The main market of this company is Malaysia.

For the structure of middleman at Baan Nong Samed fishers group, the middleman purchase products from two fishers groups namely, Baan Nong Samed and Baan Pakklong Bang Sapannoi village.
