With the introduction of improved fish farming technologies during seventies, the culture fishery in inland water bodies is gaining popularity. Because it gives five to six times more return than investment. The potential yield from fresh water inland fisheries at the current technological status is estimated to be nearly 50 lakh tonnes. But the actual inland fish production is only about 33 per cent of this potentiality, As the fish exploitation intensifies, not only more fishery inputs are to be met in time but also involves scientific management of inland aquatic resources for a better harvest. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to know the technological gap and constraints in adoption of scientific inland fish farming practices. OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY To Study the personal, socio economic, psychological and situational attributes of inland fish farmers. 2. To study the attitude of inland fish farmers towards the fishery development activities of Fish Farmer's Development Agency (F.F.D.A.), Vadodara. 3. To study the sources of information utilized by the fish farmers about scientific inland fish farming. 4. To study the knowledge level of the fish farmers on scientific inland fish farming. 5. To study the extent of adoption of scientific inland fish farming by the fish farmers. 6. To study the productivity level of the inland fish farmers. 7. To study the extent of technological gap existing in various components of scientific inland fish farming. 8. To study the relationship between technological gap and selected independent variables. 9. To study the constraints associated with scientific inland fish farming. 10. To seek suggestions from inland fish farmers for successful fish farming.enExtension Education, AgricultureA STUDYThesis
