    Evaluation of technology transfer and impact among fishermen
    (Cochin University of Science and Technology, 1998) Balasubramaniam, S.; Kandoran, M.K.; Mohan, B.; Bihari, B.
    This paper presents the evaluation of technology transfer and impact in terms of the adoption behaviour and communication behaviour of the clientele system. The fishermen operating plankbuilt crafts in Kerala had higher mean scores than the fishermen operating catamarans. Among the samples from Tamilnadu, the adoption behaviour did not differ significantly though the communication behaviour components differed significantly between the fishermen categories. In the multiple regression analysis, the R super(2) values revealed that 59.62% to 60.19% variations in the communication behaviour and 79.73% to 90.74% variations in the adoption behaviour were jointly influenced by the selected independent variables among the fishermen operating plankbuilt crafts. The extent of adoption of technological practices (44.23% to 59.52%) in all categories revealed the scope to improve the technological adoption through comprehensive marine fisheries extension schemes.

    Socio-economic variables of fishermen in Hirakud reservoir and the technological adoption
    (Society of Fisheries Technologists (India), Cochin, 2001) Balasubramaniam, S.; Bihari, B.
    This paper deals with the socio-economic variables of reservoir fishermen, their levels of attitude, knowledge and adoption, and the variables associated with the extent of adoption of technology practices . The study was conducted in two fishing villages viz ., Larbhanga and Sanutikira in Hirakud reservoir area . The average annual income of fishermen in Sanutikira centre (mean : Rs . 52,900) was significantly higher than the fishermen in Larbhanga centre (mean : Rs . 34,500) . Of the 13 variables, fishermen in the two villages had differed significantly only on 6 variables . The extent of adoption of technological practices in the two villages did not differ significantly . About 27 % of the respondents in Larbhanga and 11 % in Sanutikira did not own any fishing craft, and all the respondents had owned fishing gear. The differential characteristics of reservoir fishermen operating three categories of nets, viz ., gill nets, shore seines, and gill net combinations were evaluated . Investment on fishing craft and fishing nets, number of family members and risk preference were found to have positive and significant correlation with the extent of adoption of technological practices .
