    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.
