Abstrakt: The study aimed to assess the level of aquaculture knowledge among fish farmers in Hisar district, Haryana. Data were collected from 45 randomly selected farmers through face-to-face interviews. The results showed that most of the fish farmers were middle-aged and engaged in fish farming activities in leased village ponds. However, their knowledge of freshwater pond fish culture practices was found to be medium 40%, with 22.22% having low knowledge as per recommendation. The areas where farmers had low knowledge included pond selection, species selection, stocking density, pest and weed management, feed and feeding, health management, water quality management and marketing. In view of these findings, the study suggests that extension agencies should design programs to highlight the economic benefits of freshwater fish farming to promote its large-scale adoption. Overall, this study contributes to the understanding of aquaculture knowledge among fish farmers in Hisar district and highlights the need for educational interventions to improve their understanding of fish farming practices.
