Data Collection A total of eight blocks were randomly selected, four from Owerri and two each from Orlu and Okigwe zones, and two circles were also selected from each block. A comprehensive list of 520 fish farmers was obtained from the ADP and the village heads. Seven farmers were picked from each circle, resulting in a total of 112 respondents. However, only 82 of them were available for an interview, which was conducted using a structured interview schedule. Due to some educational and cultural considerations, trained enumerators were hired to interview the farmers and record their responses during the interview.
