Abstract:
The introduction of fish production innovations in the Department of Ouémé following the
scarcity of aquatic fauna is considered as a way to improve the living conditions of fish farmers.
However, these new techniques have given rise to logics that do not favour their adoption. The
present research highlights the typology of the logics of the actors around the implementation of
fish farming innovations in the Department of Ouémé. It is qualitative in nature. Literature
search techniques, interview and observation, as well as empirical data collection tools such as
the reading sheet, the interview guide and the observation grid allowed data to be collected from
32 informants. The data obtained were processed with the theory of the entanglement of logics
by J.P. Olivier de Sardan (2001). The analysis of the data from the surveys has made it possible
to identify two essential logics: the strategic logics of "learning to fish", the logics of "giving
fish" and the representative logics of purpose, circumstantial and value. The strategic logics are
related to the development agents and the strategic logics are related to the fish farmers. |
