Abstract

The study was conducted in North 24 Parganas district of West Bengal. It was found that majority of the fish farmers  (50.8%) had medium level of knowledge regarding scientific fish culture practices. The highest extent of knowledge was  observed in the names of some aquatic weeds (95.83%), and lowest was observed in the minimum depth of water required  for fish culture and the time gap required between manure application and stocking of fish seed (26.67%). The path  analysis indicated that innovative proneness was the most potent variable in affecting the knowledge of fish farmers  positively.
