Abstract
The study analysed capture and culture fish production in National Institute for Freshwater Fisheries Research (NIFFR) adopted villages in Kainji Lake Basin, Nigeria for the year 2020. A total of 170 respondents from 300 respondents in NIFFR-adopted villages were selected through a random sampling technique. Data for the study were collected through a structured interview schedule. Data collected were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics (Percentage, Mean, standard deviation and Regression analysis). Results revealed that almost half (44.1%) of the respondents were involved in capture fishery while 32.4% were involved in both capture and culture fish. Respondents output mean for captured cat fishes were ( =1414.36), tilapia ( =1000.29) and lates ( =600.83), while culture catfish was ( =515). It was also observed that 29.4% of the respondents involved in fish culture practices had better income than 9.4% who only rely on capture fishery. The study showed that capture fishery formed the main occupation of people and produce the highest number of fish marketed in the study communities. The government at all levels should assist fishers financially to practice fish farming and do more in regulating fishing activities on the water bodies to sustain capture fisheries.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Agricultural Extension (JAE) is devoted to the advancement of knowledge of agricultural extension services and practice through the publication of original and empirically based research, focusing on; extension administration and supervision, programme planning, monitoring and evaluation, diffusion and adoption of innovations; extension communication models and strategies; extension research and methodological issues; nutrition extension; extension youth programme; women-in-agriculture; extension, Climate Change and the environment, ICT, innovation systems. JAE will normally not publish articles based on research covering very small geographic area that cannot feed into policy except they present critical insights into emerging agricultural innovations.
