Abstract

Rajasthan is the largest state of the country and blessed with abundant aquatic resources in the form of reservoirs, lakes, rivers, canals etc. which are used for fisheries and contribute 79.286 thousand metric tonnes in the fishing year 2022-23. In this manuscript, the impact of training conducted on fisheries technology including fish production, fish seed production and revenue generation from the aquatic resources of the state is analysed. It is observed that training programmes (75-1729, 728 number), fish production (12141.00-79286.00, 34931.78 MT), fish seed production (186-1197, 639.73 million fries) and revenue ((₹570.00-7350.53, 3082.56 Lakh) was generated form the fisheries sector of the state during the fishing year 1999-2000 and 2022-23. The statistical analysis of the relevant fisheries data, linear equation (Training = 1.2687 Fish production + 34008, Training = -0.1402 Fish seed production + 741.75, and Training = -0.5453 Revenue + 3479.4) depicted that training are slightly affect the fish production while it was clearly indicated that conducted trainings were not affect the fish seed production and revenue generation. The correlation coefficient (R2) 0.0008, 0.0265 and 0.0089 of training number v/s fish production, fish seed production and revenue generation reveal the positive while weak relationship. These findings are clearly indicating that the number of trainings are not significantly affected to increase the fish production, seed production and revenue generation that may be due to insufficient extension services and irregular orientation of these trainings, organised on particular technology based rather than broader spectrum of fish farming. It is emerged that trainings and extension programmes are more effective so it is suggested that extension services and training activities should be regulate, specific technology based trainings should be conducted, state government should offer sufficient support to implement the extension services and conduction of public awareness programme related fish farming certainly encourage fish farming community in the state.
