Limitations to the Adoption of Recommended Aquaculture Production Technologies by Small Scale Fish Farmers in Oyo State Nigeria

The study was designed to identify the limitations to the adoption of recommended aquaculture production technologies by small-scale fish farmers Oyo State. A structured interview schedule was utilized in obtaining information from two hundred and twenty two respondents. Data were analysed descriptive and inferential statistics. The study revealed majority (49.1%) of the respondents were with the economic active age and mostly males (84.2%). Constraints perceived by most of the farmers include high cost of fish feed and market price fluctuation (100%), high cost/lack of construction equipment (96.0%), non-availability/high cost of quality fish seed (90.1%) and preservation and storage facilities (75.2%). Chi square analyses showed that there is a significant association between adoption of innovation and sex ( 2 = 2.16, p < 0.05), educational level ( 2 = 9.30, p < 0.05), occupation ( 2 = 4.81, p < 0.05) and marital status ( 2 = 5.32, p < 0.05).
