Abstract


 Fish pond farming practice has been in existence in Nigeria for several decades. Fish pond farming provide food and revenues for the farmers, employment for others and contribute to Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Fish pond farming is a teachable skill and hence this paper presents the development of fish pond farming training manual for students of Abia State College of Education (Technical) Arochukwu. To achieve these objectives, five research questions were formulated for the study. A questionnaire was constructed to answer the research questions raised. The questionnaire was validated and its reliability was found to be 0.82. The study used research and development design. The population of the study consisted of 26 fish pond farming practioners and researchers in Umuahia. There no was sample and sampling technique as the population was manageable. The copies of the validated questionnaire were distributed to fish pond farming practioners in Umuahia.
