Knowledge and Adoption of Improved Practices by Trawl Net Operators of Ratnagiri Coast of Maharashtra State
Trawl net operators of Ratnagiri coast were selected for assessing knowledge and adoption of improved practices. Formulated interview schedule was used as method of collecting data in face-to-face situation. Thirty-three recommended practices regarding vessel construction, engine, gear, depth of operation accessories, fish handling, preservation, disinfectant, fish hold, marine fishing regulation act, day night signal, navigational equipments and instruments for safety were analysed. Trawler owner’s knowledge on group of improved practices with regard to engine, gear, fish handling and preservation, marine fishing regulation act and day night signal was comparable with adoption. Knowledge with regard to improved practices such as vessel construction, accessories, fish hold and instrument for navigation and safety was more as compared to adoption. The average knowledge quotient was found to be 74.19. Knowledge levels of trawler owners were slightly high, moderately high and high than the expected number. The coefficient of skewness for the knowledge quotient (0.032) and value of kurtosis (3.22) showed positively skewed leptokurtic distribution pattern. The average adoption quotient was found to be 66.44. However, least trawler owners were observed in the lower adoption category. The positive skewness value of 0.085 and kurtosis 2.31 clearly showed a normal destitution pattern. It is interesting to note that trawler owners had no knowledge and therefore, adoption with respective disinfection practices was nil.
