The study was carried out in five local Government Areas namely Sokoto North, Bodinga, Kware, Ilila and Tambuwal mapped out by International Fund for Agricultural Development as fishery potential areas. Seven villages namely Gidan Igwai, Kaurar Kwasau, Gidan Akwara, Tozai, Tambuwal, Mogajin Gari, and Badau also were selected all at random. Fish farm management questionnaire was used for data collection.

Recommendations were made as to how to improve fish farming in Sokoto State.
