| Abstract | The study was conducted with the purpose to unveil the gender gap in the adoption of fish farming technologies in Afijio Local Government Areas of Oyo State. Two hundred respondents were interviewed for the study via structured and pre-tested interview schedule, and multi satge sampling technique. The level of adoption of the technologies was low due to the characteristics of the technologies. The findings revealed that at p<0.01, there was a significant difference in fish feeding techniques between men and women fish farmers. More so, at p<0.05, significant differences exist between men and women level of adoption of raceway method, water management techniques. Gender equality principles should be mainstreamed into clear and effective technology development for enhanced production and sustainable socio-economic livelihood among fish farmers in Nigeria. |
