dc.description.abstractThe extent of technological gap in post-harvest technology adoption and its implications in seafood safety are reported based on a study conducted in Ernakulam district (Kerala). 31 post-harvest technology practices developed by central institute of fisheries technology (Cochin), 6 for trawler owners/partners, 9 for fish pre-processors and 16 for fish processors were selected. The study indicated that use of ice-water slurry, provision for insulated storage and use of deodorants were not adopted. The factors namely, education, experience, number of days employed, exposure to media, contact with extension agency,and debt influenced significantly the adoption behavior of trawler owners/partners, fish pre-processors and fish processors. The adoption behavior of trawler owners/partners, fish pre-processors and fish processors could be improved by providing adequate training facilities, credit facilities, contact with extension agency and media exposure.en_US
