Abstract: Socio-economic status of small-scale fish farms is impacted by a various factor. The factors that most significantly impacted the quantity and quality of fish production also had a direct impact on livelihood. From February 2022 to August 2022, a survey was conducted to assess the socio-economic status and its determinants on fish production. One hundred thirty small-scale fish farmers were surveyed by open-ended questionnaire method. Results show men alone were managing farms between the ages of 41 and 50 with 32% of them undergraduates but without experience. Borewell was more frequently utilised with own land that is less than 2 acres in size. In fishers, disease and pest infestation are huge problems than other problems. Out of all the variables, ten factors had 84% high correlation with fish production. We recommend appropriate awareness and easily accessible government schemes for the farmers.
