Abstract

Information on socio-economic framework of the fishfarmer
community forms a benchmark for policy formulation to develop this
economically backward sector. Very few studies have been conducted on the
socio-economic aspect of fish farming. Two districts of Assam, Darrang and
Nagaon, were selected for this study where 120 respondents from each district
were selected randomly. The characteristics representing the personnel and
socio-economic attributes of the fishfarmers are presented in this paper. The
socio-economic status of fish farmers has to be improved by bringing the
modern concepts of fish farming to the doorstep of farmers.
Keywords: Socio-economics, fish culture
