"Extension is an educational activity which is stretched out and carried to villages and fields beyond the limits of schools and colleges to which formal education is confined. Fisheries extension deals with the overall development of the people associated with fisheries through the process of education for improving the methods and techniques of production (to enhance the productivity) and the standard of living of these people as well. Extension is a continuous process esigned to make the rural people aware of their problems and indicating to them ways and means the rural people aware of their problems and indicating to them ways and means by which they can solve them. It, thus, not only involves educating the rural people in determining their problems and the methods of solving them, but also inspiring them towards positive action in doing so. Extension has great scope in fisheries because a majority of the stakeholders in fisheries are socially and economically backward. Fisheries not only gives nutritional security to people, it also provides livelihood, to millions of people the extension communication/media are the great part of any work/research/study without which nobody knows what is going on in this changing world. This comprehensive bool will be an important resource guide for all those involve in fisheries development." -- Back cover
