Abstract
This paper sought to determine personal and institutional factor influencing adoption rate of improved pond management practices among fish farmers in Isoko South Local Government Area of Delta State. Structured interview schedule was used in collecting data from eight-four fish farmers randomly selected. The results showed that primary occupation being fish farming, level of educational attainment and availability of inputs had positive influence on respondents’ adoption of improved pond management practices. However. majority of the respondents were involved in fish farming on a secondary basis. These findings suggest that there is an urgent need to organize programmes to motivate farmers to invest more in fish farming if they are to adopt these practices and keep apace with human population growth in the country.
