“
maintaining proper shrimp post larvae stocking”
from the five disseminated new technologies by the
project.
The highest number of Bagda fishers adopted 4 new
technologies (40.4%) (list of new technologies were
identified by the project staff and DoF field officials)
while 34.6% adopted 3 new improved technologies
while only 14.6% of the fishers adopted five new
technologies.

Conclusion
The study reveals the findings of adopting new
technologies by the different types of fishers. It can be
concluded that all types of fishers adopted at least
one technology during fish culture though many
respondents adopted more than one technology. The
project introduced several numbers of technologies to
the target different types of fishers for successfully
culturing fish. It was found that the overall annual
average production, the gained experience, the
adoption of new technologies and the average income
of fishers increased, although the average income of
Bagda fishers did not increase to the same extent
compared to Carp and Golda fishers.
