A sample of 125 fish farms out of the 250 existing farms identified during the survey was randomly selected for the study. A structured questionnaire was administered to the managers of the selected fish farms to elicit information. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. The mean age of the respondents was 40.5 years. Commonly adopted improved fish technologies were floating feeds (84.8%), standard feeding regimes (84.0%), improved breeds of fingerlings (80.0%) and provision of inlet and outlet devices in pond (78.4). Most of the respondents were small-scale producers with a mean stocking rate of 3,789 fingerlings. The study concluded that the use of fish improved technology had positively influenced harvest of catfish farmers in the study area. The study recommends the need to establishing modern fish hatcheries by the fish farmers’ cooperative societies, and other stakeholder agencies so as to supply quality fingerlings. This would reduce cost of production, reduce susceptibility to early mortality, improve the production of fast maturing fish and thereby increase general output level.
