Abstract
As a result of researches conducted by the Central Institute of Fisheries Technology, Cochin since its inception in I 957, several technologies have been evolved in the field of fishing craft and gear technology. In order to increase the fish productivity per unit effort, the extension organisations in the various states and union territories have a major role and these organisations exert control over vast manpower resources and budgetary allocations. Due to the existence of wide choices among the attisanal fishermen for the adoption of various indigenous and improved fishing technologies, planned schemes are required to bring about desirable changes in the technology adoption so as to improve the productivity and standard of living of fisherfolk. Further, mere allocation of funds in the plans or implementation of selected projects without appropriate extension orientation will ensure the successful technology transfer to the clientele system.
