      A stochastic frontier production function model was utilized to estimate the technical efficiency of carp farms operating in Kolleru Lake area that is the largest freshwater wetland ecosystem with shallow water area covering 955 sq. km upto 10.7 contour located in between Krishna and Godavari delta of southern India. Analysis was based on sample of 221 carp farms. The estimated mean technical efficiency (TE) was found to be 0.7260. The highest significant elasticity of coefficient was observed for feed (0.2001) followed by organic manure (0.1411) justifying the importance of these two inputs in yield of carps. The empirical results suggest that there are significant possibilities to increase efficiency levels by increasing pond size, provision for regular supply of fresh water, right method of application of drugs, employing labour on regular basis and leasing out the water bodies to farmers whose primary occupation is fish farming and educating the farmers to procure seed from reliable sources, to follow proper harvesting technique and avoiding periodical netting. Analysis of potential TE improvement of aquaculture farms reveals that if the average farmer in the sample was to achieve the TE level of its most efficient counterpart then the average farmer would realize an 26.7 percent cost saving. A similar calculation for the most technically inefficient farmer revealed a cost saving of 48.9 percent. Differences in efficiency levels are identified and explained with respect to various farm specific variables having impact on TE through estimating a model for technical inefficiency effects. The study suggests that with the same level of input, there is potential to enhance the yield to the extent of 27.40% through efficient use of resources and improvement of technical efficiency at farm level from Kolleru Lake area which is known as Carp Pocket of India producing and supplying quality fish protein to almost all the eastern states of India.

Evaluation of Performance of Primary Fisheries Cooperative Societies (MSS) of Tripura

Evaluation of Performance of Primary Fisheries Cooperative Societies (MSS) of Tripura A.D. Upadhyay, M. Sinha, 1 , A.K. Roy, J.R. Dhanze and D.K. Pandey College of Fisheries, Central Agricultural University, Lembucherra Tripura – 799 210, India 1 Directorate of Fisheries, Govt. of Tripura, Agartala, India Email:ad_up@rediffma Abstract Fishermen cooperatives are recognized as means of socio-economic development of fishers/fish  farming community, which generally belong to weaker section of the society. The state of Tripura  has made significant progress in fish production by 197 per cent from 2004-05 to 2011-12. An  attempt has been made in this paper to analyse the status of Fishermen Cooperatives in Tripura with  respect to water holdings and fish and fish seed production. It has been found that the fishermen  cooperative in Tripura like other states of the country is not encouraging because majority of them...
