dc.description.abstractThe need to improve fish production in developing countries through adequate access to agricultural extension services necessitated the focus of this study. A structured questionnaire was used to elicit data from 60 registered fish farmers randomly selected across the study area. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression model were used to analyse the data. The major areas of information needs of the farmers were fish breeding, access to formal credit, feed formulation and management. The study also revealed that stock size, nature of production, level of education and age of the farmers were the significant factors affecting willingness-to-pay for extension services by the fish farmers. The study recommends improved extension services, large scale fish farming and encouragement of fish production by young, educated individual.en_US
