Objectives:
Activities proposed in this study will take an in-depth ex-post assessment of the impact
of ACRSP-funded activities at the micro (farm and household) level as well as the
macro (governmental and policy) level in terms of practices and policy
recommendations, i.e., technology- and policy-oriented assessments. Qualitative ex-post
impact assessment methods will be conducted from the perspective of cost–benefit
analysis using feasible empirical indicators of influence or adoption. ACRSP
intervention strategies should also translate into increased efficiency in fish farming and
resource productive capacity.
The specific objectives of the study are:
1. Assess the technical efficiency of fish farms adopting ACRSP knowledge and
technologies
2. Assess the determinants of adoption of ACRSP technologies
3. Assess the extent to which ACRSP’s initiatives and activities meet the objectives of
contributing towards poverty alleviation in rural communities, protein
enhancement, and reducing pressure on capture fisheries.
Significance:
Until recently, aquaculture in Kenya was a little known and young industry in spite of
fish culture practices that had existed for decades. Kenya’s aquaculture consists mainly
of small-scale commercial tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), and also catfish (Clarias
gariepinus), producing only about 1,000 metric tons annually until the early 2000. In
2007, however, the government reported annual production from aquaculture of about
4,220 metric tons of fish valued at KSh 500 million. The Government of Kenya has
recognized aquaculture as a sub-sector with great potential to contribute towards
poverty alleviation in rural communities, dietary protein enhancement, and reducing
pressure on capture fisheries. The government is supporting the industry with KSh 1.1
billion under a program called ‘Fish Farming Enterprise and Productivity Program.’
Improving fish farming technology is important to the economic growth and
development of rural communities. Improved technologies are necessary to help fish
producers respond to changing circumstances and raise productivity and household
incomes. Technical change with the adoption of new technologies in fish farming is
particularly important in Africa to enable sustainable economic growth and increased
production with minimal resources.
2
Earlier ACRSP work recognized that increased production from fish farming
required appropriate technical support and intervention strategies in the form of
extension services and research technologies to increase productivity. Improving
technical knowledge and the efficiency at the farm level can increase fish production in
a more cost-effective way than introducing new technologies. One intervention strategy
that ACRSP adopted in Kenya in 2000 was addressing the constraints of availability of
quality juvenile fish for stocking private ponds. The use of poor quality juveniles
usually resulted in poor survival at the early stages of fish propagation. Juvenile
mortality was as high as 90%. ACRSP also focused on addressing the availability of
farm records for use in farm business planning. Lack of adequate records on fish
farming prevented lending institutions from taking serious interest in investing in
aquaculture.
ACRSP and AFCRSP embarked on a series of training programs that taught
record keeping and various hatchery techniques and nursery management that could be
adopted by farmers for producing fish for the food market as well as for producing
baitfish for the commercial fisheries. Results from this study would be useful for
maximizing aquaculture production without necessarily adopting new technologies.
The information obtained will both demonstrate the importance of agricultural research
to achieving development outcomes, and also help to target future resources to achieve
greater impact.
Methodology / Activity Plan:
Adoption of ACRSP knowledge and technologies may be influenced by a number of
factors such as local economic, social and environmental factors, as well as spatial
characteristics. For example, Quagrainie et al (2009) reported that farmers in the
Western province have a 19% more probability of using credit facilities for their fish
farming operations than farmers from the Rift Valley, Central and the Eastern
provinces. Market proximity, transport infrastructure, land and labor availability, and
other local ecological characteristics could also help explain adoption practices and
consequently, productivity (Nelson 2002, Mertens et al 2002).
Techniques for the measurement of technical efficiency of production can be
broadly categorized into two approaches: parametric and nonparametric. The most
popular among empirical analysts are the parametric stochastic frontier production
function (SFP) approach (Aigner, Lovell and Schimidt, 1977) and the nonparametric
mathematical programming approach, also called the data envelopment analysis (DEA)
(Charnes, Cooper and Rhodes, 1978; Färe et al., 1989; Färe, Grosskopf and Lovell, 1994).
The main strengths of the SFP approach are that it deals with stochastic noise and
permits statistical tests of hypotheses pertaining to production structure and degree of
inefficiency. However, the methodology requires imposing an explicit parametric form
for the underlying technology and distributional assumption for the inefficiency term
(Coelli, 1995; Sharma, Leung and Zalleski, 1999). The main advantages of the DEA
approach are that it avoids parametric specification of technology and any
distributional assumption for the inefficiency term. However, DEA is deterministic and
attributes all the deviations from the frontier to inefficiencies, consequently a frontier
3
estimated by DEA is likely to be sensitive to measurement errors and other noise in the
data (Coelli, 1995).
In assessing the extent to which ACRSP’s initiatives and activities have
contributed towards poverty alleviation in rural communities and protein
enhancement, the study will assess changes in farmers’ incomes and revenues of
selected aquaculture-related businesses to reflect changes in the welfare of rural
households. In addition, other indicators such as the wealth, and the level of
consumption expenditures for nutritious food, housing, vehicles, and other items will
be used to assess the economic well-being of rural households.
The data for this study will come from a survey that will be jointly designed and
administered by the Ministry of Fisheries Development, Moi University, Kenya and
Purdue University, USA. Smallholder fish farmers who have participated in the
AFCRSP programs in the Western, Central, Eastern, and Rift valley provinces of Kenya
will be surveyed. These regions produce much of the farm raised fish in Kenya because
of relatively better annual rainfall and distribution. A sampling frame of all fish farmers
in the regions will be generated randomly using a simple random sampling technique.
The survey questionnaire will be administered face-to-face by visiting the farmers. The
questionnaire will solicit information on their practices prior to participating in any
AFCRSP program as well as their current practices relating record keeping, brood stock
handling, hatchery, nursery, stocking, feeding, pond management, harvesting, and
marketing. Data will also be collected on production levels, input use, socio-economic
characteristics, and average input and output prices in the region. A structured
questionnaire will be used to collect these data.
Anticipated Benefits:
1. Empirical assessment of farm level production with improved knowledge and
technologies from AFCRSP activities.
2. Identification of factors influencing fish production and economic efficiency of
AFCRSP technologies.
3. Insights into efficiencies in fish production that will enable further targeted
interventions by AFCRSP and government policy.
4. Insights into any need for policy and improvement in fisheries extension to enhance
delivery of improved technologies to fish farmers.
5. Support 2-3 graduate students from a Kenya partner institution to conduct thesis
research on technical and economic efficiency of fish farms.
6. Personnel from Purdue University will gain insights into international and
intercultural fish farming experience that will inform their teaching and research in
the US.
Impact Indicators:
a) Percentage increases (or decrease) in fish farming productivity with adoption of
AFCRSP knowledge and technologies.
b) Number of fish farm that adopted AFCRSP knowledge and technologies and their
distribution of technical efficiencies.
c) Number of determinants of economic efficiency of fish farms.

Objectives:
The long-term goal of this project is to ensure a sustainable supply of tilapia
(Oreochromis niloticus) and catfish (Clarias gariepinus) fingerlings for the growing
aquaculture industry in Ghana and promote private small- and medium-scale
commercial fish hatcheries. The specific objectives of the project are:
1. Provide training for fish propagation, hatchery management, and fingerling
production.
2. Educate and train prospective, beginning and existing farmers on fish propagation
and hatchery management.
3. Develop fish life cycle and reproductive strategies brochures for use as reference
materials.
Significance:
There is a policy of increased government support for aquaculture development in
Ghana. Aquaculture has the potential to create new jobs and improve food security
among poor households. Fish consumption per capita in Ghana is estimated to be as
high as 20 kg compared to the global average of 13 kg per capita. Although fish is on
high demand nationwide, consumption is greatly limited by insufficient production
and supply. The Ghana government continues to import an additional US$200 million
worth of fish to meet the ever increasing domestic market. Technical problems
associated with fish production, particularly the lack of quality fingerling supply has
limited the supply of market size fish to meet increasing demand.
Some of the major setbacks to the production of fish to meet the increasing fish
demand in Ghana are limited hatchery facilities, lack of proper management in
hatcheries, and lack of quality fingerlings. The absence of quality fingerlings is seriously
affecting small- and medium-scale commercial fish farms, with a considerable number
of farmers continuing to rely heavily on fingerlings harvested from the wild. The few
well established hatcheries are unable to cope with the rising demand for fingerlings.
The hatcheries are either owned by the Ghana government or large commercial cage
6
aquaculture operators, and they are focused on supplying large tilapia cage operations
on the Lake Volta through contract production. They do not have enough fingerlings to
meet the demand from small- and medium-scale fish farmers. Thus, there is the need to
train prospective, beginning and existing aquaculture farmers on fish early life cycle
development and management to enable more investment into private small- and
medium-scale commercial fish hatcheries to meet demand from that sector of the
aquaculture industry.
This activity is also important because it is in pursuit of the national agenda to
ensure responsible fisheries, food security and poverty reduction through fish farming
to meet domestic fish consumption. Therefore, there is a need to focus on hatchery
production and management, and fingerling production. This requires considerable
education and hands-on training to expose fish farmers and potential fish farmers to
early life cycle stages of fish.
It is anticipated that the training will bring together a body of fish farmers who
will acquire scientific knowledge and information from experts in various aspects of
hatchery location and design, construction, operation and management. It is further
hoped that the knowledge acquired by the trainees (farmers) will be used to make
considerable contributions to the production of fry and fingerlings for the benefit of the
small- and medium-scale sector of the aquaculture industry in Ghana. The farmers will
also have brochures that they can always use as a reference guide in their operations.
Activity Plan:
Activities will include 1) reviewing and synthesizing literature related to early life cycle
of fish species, particularly tilapia and catfish, 2) conducting a training program in early
life cycle development of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and catfish (Clarias gariepinus),
and 3) establishing the curriculum framework for continued training programs at WRIARDEC, Akosombo. The training program will cover the following cycle stages:
1. Spawning / Egg production: This will include natural and artificial reproduction
strategies. Participants will also learn threats to eggs from changes in water
temperature and oxygen levels, flooding or sedimentation, predators and disease.
2. Larval / Fry fish production and management.
3. Hatchery management from egg, larval fish, fry, juvenile, and consequently growout into market size adults.
The first step will be to identify subject area specialists and avenues for promoting the
training program. Training will be done through a mix of theory-based and practical
workshops. Two workshops will be held; the first will be held at the WRI-ARDEC, a
government research facility located at Akosombo for farmers from the Greater Accra,
Eastern and Volta regions and the second will be held at the Pilot Aquaculture Center
(PAC) in the Kumasi, which is the official government centre for Aquaculture training
in Ghana for farmers from Brong-Ahafo, Ashanti and Western regions. The workshops
will be offered by experienced aquaculturists and academics who know the challenges
of early life stages of fish. The target audience is prospective, beginning and existing
farmers (or investors) interested in establishing their own fish hatchery. The workshop
setting will promote interactions among participants to allow them to benefit from the
7
sharing of real-life fish farming experiences and also gain skills and ideas. It is also
anticipated that other stakeholders such as aquaculture researchers, extension workers,
administrators, scientists from governmental agencies, and representatives of NGOs
will participate in the program.
The workshops will be co-sponsored by AquaFish CRSP, Kwame Nkrumah
University of Science and Technology, Fisheries Directorate, and the Water Research
Institute, in consultation with the National Aquaculture Farmers Association as well as
Moi University in Kenya. These three institutions have suitably qualified and
experienced personnel to handle the issues of hatchery and fry management and
fingerling production. It is the hope that participants will cover their own expenses to
participate in such a training program, but we recognize that some farmers cannot pay
their travel expenses and will be supported from funds for this program. Government
and industry sponsorships will also be sought to keep attendance costs as low as
possible to allow maximum participation. Participation and sponsorship fees will be
used to offset programming costs.
