520			_aThis study highlights fish attitudes towards the new technology of raising fish on human waste / composted human waste / animal waste. The field survey was conducted in Pathumthani Province, Central Thailand in 1981. The study explores the then existing practice of fish raising, The socio-economic status of fish farmers, and farmers' perception of new fish farming technologies. The findings show that for most of the fish farmers the main purpose of raising fish was production for sale. Although the majority of respondents referred to fish farming as their main source of cash income, most respondents named field crop, i.e. rice cultivation as their major occupation. The prevailing farming pattern was a combination of complementary field and fruit tree cultivation and livestock production with fish farming, mostly operated on a single plot of land held in ownership and not larger than 6.4 ha. Fish farmers pointed to shortcomings in the delivery of various services, marketing problems, shortage of capital and lack of land. Although they operated under constraints, the majority and generated vital cash income, and half the respondents favoured expansion of their fish farm operation. However, some few only had adopted new species or technologies. As for the perception of new fish farming technologies, 74.5 per cent of the fish farmers were willing to raise fish by using animal waste. In contrast, most fish farmers rejected the idea of using human waste or composted human waste. Inconsistencies in respondents' reasoning point to confusion out of lack of information and knowledge. Recommendations for planning include human resources development, establishing delivery and marketing services, and a two-pronged strategy of information dissemination and demonstration projects on innovative technologies with focus on integrated farming. Recommendations for further research include an evaluation of fish farming before and after the adoption of innovations, and monitoring of individual fish farming management.
