| Abstract | ||
| This study aimed at determine the relative importance of fish extension problems from the prospective of the research workers themselves at each of the different groups of the following studied fish extension problems: Problems related to natural fisheries, Problems related to fish culture in ponds, Problems related to fish culture in rice fields, and problems concerning workers in research extension groups. The present study aimed also at recognize to what extent the different groups aggregate among themselves concerning fish extension problems and the sub main problems included at each group of problems and finally determining the priorities of fish problems extension at the level of sub main problems. The present study was carried out on random sample of 60 of the workers in fish culture extension representing 66.6% of all the workers in extension groups at the central laboratory for Aqua culture research, Abbassa, Sharkia. Data collected through personal interview by using questionnaire and determining 32 probable problems which primary determined through specific review and previous studies. Simple correlation factor used to analyze the obtained data statistical tools. The most important results obtained from the present study were: 1- The problem of the shortage of the infrastructure in transportation and storage with the degree of (5.00) and the environmental pollution of seas and internal lakes (4.9 degree) were considered the most important problems related to the natural fisheries. Concerning the problems that related to fish culture in ponds, the shortage of fry needed for ponds culture (4.92) occupied the head of the list. While the shortage of fry needed for culturing wide areas of rice field (5.00 degree) considered the most important problem related to culture in rice fields. Unclear fish extension concept was the most important problems related to the workers of fish culture research extension groups. 2- The presence of high consistence among the different sub main problems included in different groups, were it ranged between 0.52 and 0.72, correlation among different which indicates to what extent the relative important of different sub main problems identified, and also for the different groups of fish culture extension and indicates also the correct classification of that different groups. | ||
