Abstract

The present investigation is the study of the profitability of fish production in Belagavi and Dharwad Districts of North Karnataka. The present study is purely based on primary data and multistage random sampling technique was employed for collecting data relevant to fish production from 60 farmers (30 farmers from each of the two districts) practicing fish culture in farm ponds with the help of pre-tested interview schedule exclusively designed for the study. Average pond size considered for the study was 30x30 m2. The data was analyzed by using Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR). The results revealed that, total cost incurred for fish production was Rs. 57579/pond/year in Belagavi and Rs. 49042/pond/year in Dharwad district. The average yield realized per pond was found to be higher in Belagavi district (1400kg/pond/year) than Dharwad district (1000kg/pond/year). Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR) was found to be 1.32 and 1.58 for Dharwad and Belagavi district respectively; these indicated that fish production was profitable in the study area.
