Abstract
Intensification of fish production from pools in an African floodplain, through water management, fertilization and stocking with fingerlings, was technically a success. Fish production per hectare was 171% greater in managed ponds compared with unmanaged ponds, and in terms of income derived from labour inputs for pond management (the main “cost” of production) returns per man hour compared favourably to alternative activities. However, due to a poor understanding of socio-economic and cultural factors the technology as originally introduced was not adopted by the community.
