Abstract
Fisheries extension system should be made more purposeful to the target group by strengthening the mechanism of transferring technologies standardized by scientists. There is need for an integrated thinking as a whole, which could include clearing the backlog injustices perpetrated by the extension system (Govindaraj, et.al, 1994; Sena et. aZ.,2000). This is the most important requirement of building up the linkages among the research institutions, extension agencies and shrimp farmers. Better understanding of farmers' real need, their socio-economic condition and closer involvement of farmers in extension activities will bring forth definite solutions to their problems.
