Abstract
The present study was conducted to determine the technological changes and impact perception among the fishermen regarding the recommended technological practices. The extent of technological changes in the practices, viz use of cheaper wood materials for construction of fishing crafts and the use of synthetic fishing net materials were almost complete. The use of chemical wood preservatives was not adopted by any fishermen. The technological change with regard to the use of ice onboard country crafts was 1.61%. The studies revealed that experienced fishermen had low adoption scores. The low technological gap scores had significant relationship with higher investment and maintenance costs of crafts and nets and crew engaged.
