Instrumental Impact Of Researches Of CSU Aparri In The Coastal Towns Of Northern Cagayan Using Payback Model

Abstract

The study assessed the socio-economic impact of Fishery researches in the Coastal towns of Northern Cagayan. Impact assessment included on surveying (product) commercialization, product/technology adoption and policy recommendation.

In the study, it was found out that there was no specific individual or entrepreneur who commercialized or adopted any technology /products which are outputs of research except Bagoong Cube which was commercialized by Punta fisherfolks with the assistance of DOLE, DOST and Aparri LGU.

Among the researchers conducted, the researches about Cabibi (Batissa Violacea) and Aramang (Nematopalaemon tenuipes) were the bases for the passage of Ordinances in conserving and protecting the specie in Lal-lo and Aparri respectively. Without these ordinances, Aramang and Cabibi industry would eventually perish. The study offers potential recommendations to bring in research impacts to the community level.
