Factors related with adoption of fish farming technologies in selected communities in Niger State, Nigeria

Abstract

This study investigates the factors, which inhibit or facilitate adoption of fish farming technologies by individual fish farmers in Niger State. There was significant relationship between six of the ten variables investigated and these have contributed significantly (p<0.05) towards predicting the adoption scores of the fish farmers. It is believed that proper assessment of these factors by researchers could be used by policy makers and executioners to improve adoption of fish farming innovations. Significant factors include farmers&rsquo; age, education, pond size, access to credit, sources of information and income level. Recommendations were made involving change agents and policy markers for future fisheries and aquaculture development in Nigeria.
