Fisheries extension services are vital for educating and supporting fish farmers and fishing communities in sustainable practices. These services involve the dissemination of information on best management practices, innovative technologies, disease management, and sustainable harvesting techniques. Extension agents play an essential role in bridging the gap between research institutions and rural communities, adapting scientific advancements for local use. They promote practices that increase productivity while protecting aquatic ecosystems. By fostering skills development and encouraging responsible practices, fisheries extension services contribute to the long-term health of fisheries and the livelihoods of those involved, helping achieve goals of sustainable aquaculture and enhanced community resilience.
