- W2978407007 abstract "1. Abstract Agriculturalextension services are critical to the development of crops, livestock and fishfarming in order to bring about social change. Fish farming, though introducedover 50 years ago through research and extension, remains at a slow pace ofgrowth. There is a consensus in academic and policy literature about thepotential benefits of fish farming, particularly nutrition and incomegeneration. So why has extension not been more successful in improving thestatus of fish farming? Most explanations focus on supply side issueshighlighting lack of inputs, particularly fingerlings and feeds with littleconsideration given to how the extension services themselves are organized inview of fish farming under general agriculture. Equally absent in the discourseare the perspectives on the motivations and experiences of individual fishfarmers. Drawing from the Actor Oriented Perspective, this paper examines the organizationand current status of extension service provision in aquaculture based onperspectives of policy makers, extension workers and fish farmers. Interviewswere conducted with 246 fish farmers, eight extension workers and 11 keyinformants from government institutions. Secondary sources of informationincluded various government documents on agriculture. Results revealed slowgrowth of aquaculture due to institutional and social factors regardingalignment of extension service provision to the needs of fish farmers. Reformsinstituted over the past decades in search of better ways to avail farmers withimproved farming knowledge have had minimal success. Less than 50% of fishfarmers received extension visits from district extension staff with moderatedifference (p 0.05) between frequency ofextension visits in central and northern regions. Bias of extension serviceprovision towards production related technical and information aspects abovebuilding and strengthening social capital of fish farmers was noted. Extensioninterventions should be socially negotiated and adapted in view of aspirationsand limitations of fish farmers. 2.
