Abstract
The study was undertaken in the state of Tripura to
identify the constraints in adoption of improved fish
culture practices under aqua-model village scheme
implemented by Department of Fisheries, Govt. of
Tripura during 2004-05 to 2010-11. By using
multistage stratified random sampling, data were
collected from 80 farmers each from the adopted
and non-adopted villages respectively. It was found
that the extent of adoption of improved practices in
aquaculture farms of adopted villages was significantly
more than that of non-adopted villages.
Correlation and regression analysis between socioeconomic
parameters and adoption indices revealed
that education and training played an important role
in adoption of improved aquaculture technologies.
Using Rank Based Quotient (RBQ), constraints faced
in adopting the improved aquaculture technologies
were also documented.
