For me, the main problem/challenge is that ES need to be more performing in aquaculture
than the fish farmers they are supposed to assist which means a close relation of
extension agents both with scientists and producers. If not, the extension agents will
always be running behind the farmers and will soon be discouraged.
Jérôme Lazard

Je pense que le principal problème/enjeu est que les agents de vulgarisation soient plus
compétents en aquaculture que les pisciculteurs qu’ils sont censés encadrer ce qui
signifie qu’ils se situent à l’interface des chercheurs et des producteurs. Si ce n’est
pas le cas, les encadreurs/vulgarisateurs seront toujours en retard par rapport aux
pisciculteurs et se décourageront rapidement.

Vol 49, Issue 40

Dear readers,

The way I see it: Extension agents (whether public or private) cannot be a panacea to all
the maladies (if any) ailing the aquaculture industry in Kenya and elsewhere. Before
condemning and fragmenting blame to these groups (ES) I think the basic question to ask is
–what is ailing the aquaculture extension service (public or private) in our respective
environs?. If we find the cause, this is what to start treating rather than the
symptoms.

It is also simplistic to conclude that if fish farmers are making losses (though not
defined at what level/stage) then the buck rests with the extension service delivery!

In any case it takes two to tango. Fish farming is not a dance to be executed by the ES
team only. There many dancers/stakeholders in this industry (read, researchers/extension
service/investors/policy makers/etc, etc). All should learn the aquaculture song together,
practice together and join hands to dance in unison to the common tune of making
aquaculture a success in our respective environs. It is only then we can say who is
dancing out of step!

Otherwise blame games will take aquaculture nowhere!

Dear all
the same issue was raised by Farmers in Kiambu  in today in luch time Citizen news who are
complaining of poor service delivery by the fisheries officers in their region  and i
quote " we have made alot of losses after serious investments, the officers are
either corrupt or incompetent" this ones  gives the picture of the extension service
at the farmers level. Its like the farmers have lost faith in some of the extension
service officers .

The extension service need repackaging.

Dear All,

This debate is about a common problem across Africa, where in many
countries fisheries or aquaculture extension is provided by "fisheries
inspectors" who are trained and mandated in enforcement, not
extension.

  In this context, provision of extension support to fishermen or
fish farmers is thus not effectively provided.  Several reports I have
seen refer to this approach as the "command and control" method.
Empowerment of fishermen and fish farmers cannot be achieved with such
"inspectors", who as recently as a year ago, went to the field armed
with guns in some countries.  This problem is common in both
anglophone and francophone countries.

The solution to this is "Co-management", where a win-win situation is
created between Government (which lacks money, logistical support and
adequate staff) and Fisherfolk or Fish Farmers, who need to be
empowered  to play a key role in resource management.  This requires a
transformation of thinking by government and fishers and farmers, to
becoming partners in managing resources.  Through co-management
training fishers can be brought to play a key role in enforcement as
they understand the need to achieve sustainability of the fisheries,
which is "their resource", the durability of which determines their
future.

By helping fishermen and fish farmers organize themselves into groups
or associations, it is possible for extension services to be carried
out through payment of services provided.  In fish farming this is
already being done through services being provided by private sector
fish hatcheries and fish feed providers.

  Dear all,

 Quite interesting the whole topic of ES. I think we must agree that (i)
 provision of ES in whichever form is required by most farmers (ii) some
 farmers have more information than the "professional" ES providers. Why is
 (ii) the case? First, what is the training of some of the providers? Quite
 often, we have had to transform officers trained on capture fisheries into
 aquaculturists. This is not a Kenyan problem but a common problem. Only
 recently, a farmers called to say that the officer who advises him could
 not help with some simple issue he wanted advice on. Obviously, if the
 officer had been properly trained he would have been able to help.
 Secondly, the issue of lacking in passion may not always be true. This may
 be tied to the fact that a Capture Fisheries officer has a completely
 different perspective on how he deals with clients. Capture fisheries
 officers (I hope this term is clear!) are used to deal with illegal nets
 and illegal fishing and may deal with farmers as if they are the police.
 This does not augur well with learning.

 Quite often the wrong advice is given due to ignorance. Even private
 providers have been culprits of this, trying to get the quick buck. So at
 the end of the day, we need to deal with the message that ES providers give
 as well as the way it is presented. The message needs to be accurate and
 concise.  Simple manuals carefully edited and demonstrations or hands-on-
 field experience may do.  "Servanthood" in ES also needs to be inculcated
 so that officers consider farmers as partners in the sector and not
 antagonists. In a nutshell, change of attitude.

 Limbu talks of the need for regular visits and mentoring. I think this is
 quite necessary and will remain so for quite some time, especially where
 farmers have not yet seen the commercial end of aquaculture.Quite a number
 of farmers in Kenya have invested greatly in aquaculture and these are
 basically more commercially oriented than not. We should however be moving
 towards making farmers pay for the ES when they understand exactly why they
 are keeping fish. This in my opinion can be done only when they are
 convinced that they are getting value for money from the ES provided.

 Best regards,

 Harrison

  Hi Leslie, Rachel, Brynn & Paul,
 Believe me, what is currently being discussed here is what is mainly
 impacting to majority of African fish farmers/ pioneers especially
 community –based organizations/groups. I hold a Master degree in
 Aquaculture, with good field experience from the Mekong Delta Vietnam (on
 freshwater and mariculture techniques), Innoflex farm in Hungary (on
 African catfish farming), Wageningen University (on RAS of Nile Tilapia,
 African Catfish and European eeI) just to mention a few. To merge all
 skills, I  have been in the field working with farmers (enterprise
 groups)
 along Tanzania coast communities (whose education level is still low) on
 Milkfish farming, mud crab fattening and Pearl Oyster farming for more
 than
 2 years. My initial training technique was to conduct the so called
 “in-situ” training of all farmers at their villages (covering farming
 techniques and Business & Entrepreneurship training) which was very
 successful. We then built a team of Community-Based-Trainers (CBTs) who
 attended 2 weeks TOT and got mentored by myself and other experienced
 Fisheries officers (before allowing them to directly attend farmers
 independently) to make sure that immediate queries from farmers could be
 attended at their community level.  During mentorship of CBTs,
 significant achievement was seen in proper pond and crab cage
 construction,
 increased milkfish fingerling and Juvenile mud crab collection and
 stocking
 at right densities which led to each group harvest at least once per year
 1. In the following year, costs for extension service (in line with what
 Leslie highlighted) were already high and so we reduced from a bi-weekly
 mentoring frequency to a monthly and slowly to bi-monthly. Yes we indeed
 cut down monitoring costs in Year 2 but we negatively impacted to
 mariculture production as ONLY half of the enterprise groups managed to
 successfully harvest!

 While assessing the project progress we came up with the following
 observation:

 Training is NOT everything to fish farmers, rather regular monitoring,
 mentoring and follow ups (ES) are critical to their success;
 Low education level negatively affected the theoretical trainings as
 majority could not take notes for records;
 Farmers learn better by doing and repeatedly to build hands-on field
 practice;
 Successful Aquaculture need patience as farmers spend initial phases to
 slowly learn and convert the technology into a normal commercial
 business.

 In my opinion, our training,  intensification and frequency of ES on
 mentoring and monitoring should be differentiated to low educated
 communities and highly educated farmers (as mentioned by Leslie) offering
 the former more attention before being thrown to a stand-alone team of
 farmers.
 A typical example is what is being highlighted by Brynn on the training
 conducted in South Africa to the Abalone farmers. So I remain optimistic
 that we are not stagnant, we are making some steps forward but our pace
 could be amplified more if we increased our ES to the needy. I strongly
 recommend priority to allocation of funding associated with ES if we want
 to see Aquaculture production after spending massive effort to train fish
 farmers.
 Thanks.

 Hi Leslie,
 May be i should have said "Professional". How many seed and feed
 suppliers
 have laid out plans on assessing their product performance and prefernce.
 I
 just recieved a farmer from Isinya-Kenya complaining of poor handling of
 fish seed on delivery by a well renouned farm. this has caused the farmer
 a
 great loss.?Is that professionalism or being money minded. True
 professionals are few and you can tell the passion and commitment?in them
 in their various fields. Leslie, come out and reach to the fish farmers
 and
 ask them the last time they had a professional attend to them and if they
 were satissfied with services rendered.
 May the other members can help on this.

 One thing i have learnt over time even on matters of religion is that
 there are two groups of religious leaders; 1. As a call 2. As a
 profession.
 This two characters exist too in aquaculture. However, the latter seems
 to
 carry the day. This latter character lacks the passion and committment.

 The Kenyan situation for aquaculture is abit tricky if not approached
 with
 care. The program was a national one with limited number 1 characters. At
 some point we have had situations where farmers are more knowledgeable
 than
 the service providers. We need to contend with realities when it calls
 for.
 I suppose that if dedicated selected farmers would be identified for
 training as ES, this will work very well. Its easier for them to pass the
 message at?cluster levels and reduce dependancy on state staff. State
 staff
 should probably be used to improve and intensify?on the existing sysytems
 by ensuring farmers advance to RAS, marketing and networking and quality
 feed use. ?

 Good morning Rachel
 ?
 I feel that Extension Support is critical for success.? Unfortunately, ES
 has developed a poor reputation because it was mainly provided by state
 employees who were under resourced, short of practical experience
 themselves and not commercially motivated or orientated.? Such ES should
 rather come from a commercial player with practical experience in the
 relevant field (infrastructure type, scale of operation, species, etc).?
 Where projects are linked under a single umbrella it is easier to justify
 the cost associated with such ES, thereby giving the Projects a far
 higher
 chance of commercial success.? Where I do not immediately see a solution
 is
 for farmers who are low in business and aquaculture skills being
 supported
 through ES on a stand-alone basis, as the costs are too high for such
 operators to carry.

 Good evening Rachel & Paul

 There is a misconception that training makes fish farmers, this is simply
 not true, or at least not true if the training is a once off event and
 the
 trainees have low skill and education levels.? We offer numerous training
 options from 2 days to 12 weeks, with the longer Courses including a
 significant proportion of practical experience.? A commercially
 orientated
 person coming from a background of high skills and technical competence
 can
 attend such a Course and have all he/she needs to be a successful fish
 farmer by applying the skills and disciplines they were taught.? However,
 more and more we find ourselves training people who come from low
 education
 levels and it is essential that the training these people receive is
 followed up with an extensive period (open ended?) of mentorship and
 support, most especially when they are operating recirculating systems.?
 It
 is unrealistic to expect that such people can be exposed to the volume
 and
 level of
 technical information included in thorough training, digest it all and
 apply it successfully without such support.

 Hey this is good to know. Good for Sammy and Good for Kenya too. Am
 however concerned about the numerous trainings our staff have gained with
 no meaningful change in service delivery styles. If we spend either
 government or scholarship funds to acquire knowledge, lets make it a
 culture to impart the same to the society.

 Thank you Karen for the initiative and hope that you have a post training
 strategy of measuring the impact of knowledge imparted to graduants of
 this
 programme. Am sure Sammy is upto the task and will help aquaculture scale
 higher hights in this country.

 I hope this are kind words to all of us.

  Well done Sammy and those behind CAP.

 Lack of (or inadequate) skills is one of the issues that we often deal
  with
  in the system supply business. People often
forget that once the system
  is
  built, it needs competent and well motivated
people operating it.

 It is exciting to see that there is forward movement in this area with
  more
  training options available to aquaculturists and
fish farm staff. In
  South
  Africa a lot of work has been done in the abalone
industry that is
  related
  to skills training and education and I expect
that this is paying off
 dividends.

 This is to congratulate the first person in Africa to successfully
  complete
  the Certification of Aquaculture Professional
program.
 He is Sammy Macaria, with the Kenya Fisheries Department.
 The AquaFish Collaborative Research Support Program sponsored his
 subscription to the series of 136 lectures split into 10 modules, each
 followed by an exam. ?Sammy will continue to have access to these
 modules
 over the next 3 years and he will receive any new modules free of
 charge
 during the next 3 years. ?The certification comes with online advisory
 services from Auburn as well.
 The CAP is available in English and in Spanish. We are trying to get
 the
 funds to do the french translation but need at least 20 paid
  subscriptions
  in French for this to begin.
 More information on the CAP can be found at: https://cap.auburn.edu/
