dc.description.abstractThe present study was taken up in Manipur state of north east hill region to examine the economics and resource use efficiency in fish production. Three districts viz., Bishempur, Imphal West and Thoubal were selected for the study and two villages were selected from each district. From each villages 25 fish farmers were randomly selected, altogether there were 150 respondents. The farmers were classified into marginal, small and semi-medium category based on pond size. Cobb-Douglas production function and marginal value productivity were employed to examine the resource use efficiency. Per hectare cost of fish rearing were the highest for the marginal category and decrease with increase in pond size category. The overall average yield of fish was 1078 kg ha-1. Farmers in the marginal category obtained the highest yield with a production of 1611 kg ha-1. The yield decrease with the increase in pond size. Net return obtained from fish production were Rs.125311 ha-1 for marginal, Rs. 87010 ha-1 for small and Rs. 29471 ha-1 for semi medium category respectively. Fish production is profitable with a BC ratio of 1.60 but the productivity is very low and needs to be increased. It was found that fish seedling was underutilized for semi-medium category, feed was underutilized for marginal category and labour was underutilized for both small and semi-medium category farms. Floods, poor quality of pond water, incidence of pest and disease, high cost of feed and lack of skilled workers are five major problems faced by the fish farmersen_US
