Abstract
In marine fisheries the linkages between the fishermen and the extension system play an
important role in technology transfer and its adoption. Research studies on linkages inmarine fisheries
are very limited. So tbis study was taken up to find out the linkage activities through which both the
systems are contacting each other. It was found that 60 % of the fishermen had medium level of
linkage of with the extension personnel followed by low (21.33%) and high (19.34%) linkage level.
The paper also highlights the frequency of linkage and the level of perception about linkages between
the two systems. The paper implies that the linkage activities need to be enhanced so as to derive an
overall development in the fisheries sector.
