The study was conducted in five districts which had the highest inland fish farmer population in Kerala.
Primary data were collected from 225 aquaculture farmers who availed support through the Agricultural
Technology Management Agency (ATMA) and from 165 Department of Fisheries (DoF) staff officials who
provided ATMA support to farmers. Contact of farmers with various resource persons was quantified by
resource person contact index from the perspective of both farmers and DoF staff, thereafter, to find that
there was no significant difference in the index scores, which indicated adequate rapport between farmers
and resource persons. Regularity of different farm information dissemination activities conducted by ATMA
and satisfaction arising out of it, was assessed among farmers, by means of Garrett method. The different
sources through which farmers became aware of ATMA were found out. Policy suggestions were proposed
to improve the extension support meant for farmers, which would help in aquaculture development.
