Abstract/ Executive Summary:

A study was conducted on the community and professional features of aquaculture technologies in Bangladesh West and west-southern Agro-Ecological Zones with the objective for identifying the weak sectors and potential priorities as related to fisher group dynamics. The results on skill requirement aspects for the fishers community improvement show that the capital management scored highest. The trend of the important factors varied according to the respondent group indicating significant variability. The women group gave more importance to technology development, marketing knowledge and cultural methods. It was recommended from the results that the more skill training should given for land ownership and capital point as required mostly on gender need basis. The terms Fisher and Fishermen should be defined techno-econ considerations under the community composition and development priorities. It may be recommended from the findings of Focus Group Discussion and case studies that the Real fisher should be identified with specific characteristics providing ID beneficiary categories. Rural women need skill development through training on IBCT concept on the small scale techniques of homestead integrated aquaculture as the existing technologies are targeted male fisher and businessman and not well friendly to women community. The wards specially women sector of fishers must accept the profession for their livelihood carrier of the running projects. Active participation in the fisherman communities should be created for the fishers. Intensive training should be given to the fishers on both technologies and community operations.
