ABSTRACT
This study compares the use of WhatsApp by fish farmers, between users and non-users and the improvement of these fish farmers’ financial conditions and aquaculture knowledge. Questionnaires were distributed to 60 fish farmers: 30 who already used WhatsApp and 30 who did not. Result shows that fish farmers who were WhatsApp users showed a higher score in both financial conditions and aquaculture knowledge than non-WhatsApp users. This indicates that fish farmers who use WhatsApp have higher knowledge and have better financial conditions than fish farmers who are not WhatsApp user.
