| Popis: | Community based aquaculture, a subset of the rural aquaculture, is characterised with low fish production level. Sustainable improvement of productivity levels in such resources has remained a challenge. The study adopted a novel approach of technology transfer through aquaculture field school which involves provision of technical advices and no physical inputs. The article tries to capture its impact on fish production levels and economics of community based aquaculture. The study was conducted during 2009-2012 in Khurda and Puri districts of Odisha by surveying randomly selected farmers of community ponds. Demonstration, need-based skill training, field days, workshops and field visits were organised periodically for fish farmers involved in community based aquaculture management. In order to study the impact of technical inputs, data were collected from 31 randomly selected village community ponds. Farmers provided with technical advices could improve pond management practices significantly (p |
