    abstract = {This study determined technical skills improvement need of fishery trade teachers in fishpond
construction and management for effective instructional delivery in Nigerian secondary schools. Three research
questions guided the study. The population was 55; comprising lecturers of agricultural education in colleges
of education and universities. There was no sampling due to small size of population. The instrument for data
collection was questionnaire which was validated by three experts. The internal consistency of the instrument
was determined using Cronbach alpha method which yielded a reliability coefficient of 0.81. The researchers
with the help of two research assistants collected data. All 55 copies of the questionnaire administered were
retrieved. Mean and Improvement Need Index (INI) were used to answer the research questions. Findings
indicated that fishery teachers needed improvement on 8 planning skills, 18 fishpond construction and 17 skills
in management and maintenance of fishpond for effectiveness in instructional delivery in Nigerian secondary
schools. It was concluded that fishery trade teachers in Nigerian secondary schools possess low technical skills
in fishpond construction and management. The study recommended among others that workshops, seminars
and conferences be organised by relevant agencies for updating the knowledge and skills of fishery trade
teachers in planning, construction and maintenance of fishpond.}
