Abstract:

Inland fish production, particularly in pond culture, is gaining importance in Karnataka owing to batter irrigation facilities and the government support in the form of various schemes such as Krushi Honda and others. This paper analyzes the resource use efficiency in pond fish production in NEK region of Karnataka. The data collected from sixty fish rearing farmers in ponds in Kalyan Karnataka region in 4 districts namely, Bellary, Kalaburagi, Bidar and Raichur using snowball technique method is used. The tabular analysis for input use pattern and cob-Douglas production function for use efficiency was used. From the findings it evident that fish production in ponds is labor intensive activity and thus provides scope for employment opportunity in the area. Human labour, feed cost and manure were found to be major contributing factor of fish production and positively and significantly contributed in pond fish production in the region. Feed was the only variable was used optimally in the fish production, however , labour, seed, fertilizer, lime and manure were over utilized, Hence, appropriate and adequate training or extension programme need to be tailored through the line departments and relevant agencies on production technology.
