The state of Tripura in the north-east India has developed few model aquaculture villages for improvement in fish productivity through demonstration of scientific technologies. The present study aimed at analysing the technical efficiency of fish culture of model aqua-villages (adopted villages) in comparison with other areas (non-adopted villages) where the State Government did not give such special attention. The objective of the study was achieved using stochastic frontier production function and measuring technical efficiency through error component model. The study has revealed that there is potential for increasing fish production in Tripura and there was significant difference between the mean technical efficiency of adopted (0.86) and non-adopted (0.77) villages in the state. Study estimated the production elasticities for different input variables like fish seed, cow dung, lime, pellet feed, mustard oil cake, rice bran, labour, and showed the possibilities to increase fish production by using more quantities of all the inputs except fish seed. Study also analysed the potential production frontier by following scientific recommendations and the technical efficiency realised for both categories of villages was found to be lesser than the potential. The results of the present study helped to identify the scope for technical improvement in fish culture development in Tripura State of India.
