Ascertainment of technical efficiency of fish farmers of Kamrup district of Assam.

Saloi, N.; Hazarika, S.

The water resources of Assam are not optimally utilized by the fishery sector, which creates a lack of capabilities to meet the needs of fish within the state itself. Despite the available water resource, Assam imports fish from other states to supply fish to the local demands of the state itself. There is a lack of studies on technical efficiencies of the fish farmers in Kamrup district of Assam. The objective of this study is to measure the technical efficiency of the fish farmers of Kamrup district. The result of this study shows that maximum numbers of fish farmers of the study area are technically efficient. The number of fingerlings introduced to the pond and other costs in fish farming have significant impact on the quantity of fish produced by the fish farmers of kamrup district.
