The study is aimed at estimating and explaining the parameters of the adoption process of Hybrid Clarias “Heteroclarias” by fish farmers in Lagos State, Nigeria. The main purpose for the development of the hybrid is to produce viable and fast growing stock for distribution to fish farmers in order to alleviate the problem of short supply of fish fingerlings and increase fish production. Like any new innovation, hybrid catfish technology must endure a phase of dissemination. Innovators and policy makers who manage fisheries resources need knowledge of the expected rate of adoption. In this study, a conceptual framework was developed for the decision to adopt or not to adopt and econometric analyses of the diffusion process are presented using Logistic regression model. While appropriate low-input, cost production system and technology package should be emphasized, the knowledge, accuracy and technical responsibilities become more significant to the success of the technology as well as aquaculture industry.
