Abstract: A study on the farmer‘s knowledge regarding fish cultivation practices has carried out in Darbhanga districts of Bihar states during 2016-17. The findings revealed that (60.00%) of respondents had medium level of knowledge on the recommended package of practices of fish production, followed by 23.33 per cent with low knowledge level and 16.67 per cent with high knowledge level. Illiteracy of the farmers, low sociability, low extension contact, medium mass media exposure and scientific orientation could be attributed for observing this trend. Hence, the policy makers and administration including extension system need to put concerted efforts to make the farmers more knowledgeable through different information sources and also by conducting training programmes systematically. Almost cent per cent of the fish growers had complete knowledge in time of growing followed by in marketing (100%), harvesting (93.33%), sampling (85.00%). While 83.33% of the fish growers had knowledge in pond preparation, followed by quality seed, species and stocking density (76.67%), insect and disease management (73.33%), pond construction (68.33%), water quality (66.67%). Feed and fertilizer management of fish production (56.67%), and soil type (53.33%).
