pond preparation” whilst 35.2% of the Carp beneficiaries
indicated to have adopted the technology named
“
Application of fish disease prevention method”.
100%
of the Carp fishers indicated to have adopted at
least one new aquaculture technology disseminated by
the project for improved carp fish culture in the ponds.
31.5%
of the Carp fishers indicated to have adopted 4
types of new technologies (the list of the new
aquaculture technologies were identified by the
project expert and DoF field officials) while 20.27%
adopted five types of new technologies.
1.2
Golda Fishers
The above Table reveals that the 100% of the Golda
fishers adopted at least one new technology disseminated
by the project for improved Golda shrimp culture.
95.5%
adopted the technology named “improved
Pond/Gher preparation” while the adoption rate of
female fishers (98.1%) is higher than in male (94.9%).
35.39%
of the Golda fishers adopted 3 new technologies
(
the list of new technologies were identified by the
project expert and DoF field officials) while 27.92%
adopted 4 new technologies on improved Golda
culture.
1.3
Bagda Fishers
100%
of the Bagda fishers adopted at least one new
technology disseminated by the project for improved
Bagda shrimp culture in Ghers/ponds. The second
highest number of fishers (88.85%) adopted the
technology of “use of supplementary fish feed” while
the lowest number of fishers (48%) adopted the technology
