    (Society of Fisheries Technologists (India)Cochin, 2014) Das, Apu; Kumar, Nalini Ranjan; Krishnan, M.; Yadav, Vinod Kumar; Immanuel, Sheela
    The study was undertaken in the state of Tripura to identify the constraints in adoption of improved fish culture practices under aqua-model village scheme implemented by Department of Fisheries, Govt. of Tripura during 2004-05 to 2010-11. By using multistage stratified random sampling, data were collected from 80 farmers each from the adopted and non-adopted villages respectively. It was found that the extent of adoption of improved practices in aquaculture farms of adopted villages was significantly more than that of non-adopted villages. Correlation and regression analysis between socioeconomic parameters and adoption indices revealed that education and training played an important role in adoption of improved aquaculture technologies. Using Rank Based Quotient (RBQ), constraints faced in adopting the improved aquaculture technologies were also documented.
