The study assessed aquaculture table-size fish farmer’s activities in the Kainji Lake basin, Nigeria. Specifically, the study examined aquaculture  activities in the area, assessed market information, channels and support organizations, and identified the major constraints to aquaculture table- size fish farming in the area. A two-stage sampling technique was used to select 120 table-size fish farmers. Primary data were collected with a questionnaire and presented using descriptive statistics. The result shows that majority of the respondents were males (82.1%), with mean age of 36.7 years, 53.8% had tertiary educational qualification while 66.7% had more than six years’ experience in fish farming. Majority (92%) of the table-size fish farmers operate with less than two ponds, 51% practice earthen pond system, while 91% of the farmers engage in the business for the purpose of generating income. Majority (90%) of the farmers sell their farmed fish after six months, 80% of the sales take place at farm-gate level, 80% of the owners of the fish farms are contacted directly by fish buyers. Also, majority (53.8%) of the fish buyers are the middle men who buy and resell to other fish users (processors, consumers, farmers etc). The major constraints to table-size fish farming were inadequate capital (46.2%), poor water management (33.3%), high cost of feed (10.3%) and poor pricing (10.3%). It is therefore recommended that fish farmers should form  strong Farmer Associations to enable them combat the issues of accessing capital and poor pricing. This will aid in business expansion as the farmers will take advantage of economy of scale. Key words: aquaculture, table-size, fish, farmers

India has enormous potential for the development of ornamental fish business. Although the country has conducive environmental conditions for breeding and culture of ornamental fishes, its share in export of ornamental fishes is less than 1%. The present study was undertaken to address the constraints prevailing in ornamental fish farming. Study was carried out among 44 ornamental fish farms in Madurai District, Tamil Nadu by adopting random sampling technique. The selected farms were classified into small (<0.5 ha) and medium farms (0.5-2 ha) and the data were collected by personally interviewing the fish farmers. The study attempted to analyse the socio-economic characteristics of respondents, existing supply chain, constraints involved in ornamental fish farming, annual revenue loss due to major constraints, treatment cost and expected profit margin. Various constraints were classified as production, marketing and others and were ranked using Garrett ranking technique. Tabular and percentage analyses were used to estimate the cost of treatment, revenue loss and expected profit margin. Four types of marketing channels were observed in the study area. Disease outbreak was found to be the major constraint faced by the farmers and hence, the revenue loss was estimated for the same. The annual revenue loss was found to be higher for the small ornamental units when compared to medium farms, which showed higher profit margin than small ornamental fish farms.

Nigeria is facing food security crisis with growing population that is increasingly dependent on imported foods. It is the most populous nation in Africa with over 180 million people to feed. This is happening in a country that has the potential to grow highly nutritious rice through rice-fish integration with its attendant sustainable developments. This study assessed the perceived effects and constraints militating against the use of integrated rice-fish farming technology in the area. A multistage sampling technique was used in the selection of respondents. Data were collected with the use of structured questionnaire administered to 243 rice-fish farmers. The questionnaire was structured to address the objectives and hypothesis of the study. The Mean score analysis and Standard deviation were used to analyze the perceived effects and constraints militating against the use of integrated rice-fish farming technology. The Hypotheses were tested using Z- test and Analysis of variance. The results of the study revealed that the effects mostly perceived by the farmers were improved household nutrition (M=3.11) and improved family income (M=3.09). It indicated that inadequate water supply to rice-fish farms (2.5) and scarcity of inputs (M=2.1) were mostly identified as the constraints to the use of integrated rice-fish farming technology. Extension agents should intensify educational extension visits so that the farmers will have timely information about the practice. There is need for government and intervention agencies to provide agricultural inputs to the farmers to encourage them in their farming practices. They should make extension services functional and provide policies that will drive the adoption of rice-fish farming technology.

The article describeы the fishing process as a final technological stage that completes the cycle of fish breeding in the fish ponds. Fishing in the ponds, regardless of their category, is a difficult and energy-intensive process. The safety of farmed fish and the overall results of fish farming depend on the process of fishing. The well-known fishing methods are based on filtering fish when discharging water through fish catchers or other artificial structures. When water is drained from the pond, the fish moves to a fish catcher with the water flow, which contradicts its biological tendency to breast the current and prevents from its getting into the fish catcher or another artificial structure. In addition, the separation of fish from water by a grated water separator leads to the mechanical damage of the fish scales and reduces the number of alive fish. The technology of fish catching in draining ponds used at the small innovative enterprise SRK Sharapovsky (Kamyzyaksky district, Astrakhan region) has been analyzed. The absence of a fish catcher is a specific feature of the technology. Fishing in the ponds is carried out by using a dragnet during the pond drainage, starting the catch when the pond’s area is lowered to 1/3 or 1/4. The disadvantages of this technology include excessive accumulation of fish in a small volume of water, which can cause fish death or severe injuries to the underyearlings reared with commercial fish species. Choosing the optimal fishing gear or a device will allow to clearly plan and coordinate the work of the enterprise, because the fishing period is short and depends on the time frames and the market demands.

The existing power differences among men, women and youths in aquaculture pre-empted the study on gender roles and economic differentials in aquaculture of Kainji Lake Basin, Nigeria. Specifically, the study assessed sources of production resources, gender roles, cost and returns and existing gender gaps in aquaculture. Using a survey design, a two-stage sampling procedure was used to select 81 males and 39 females from a population of 229 fish farmers. Data were presented using descriptive statistics and analyzed with budgetary technique and gender gap ratios. Key result shows that the men and youths had direct access to land through inheritance and purchase while the women (61%) accessed land through a family relation. The men and male youths performed majority of the gender roles involved in preparation of ponds, fingerlings stocking, fish management and post-harvest activities while the women and female youths were actively involved in fish management, liming and grading. Economic indicators show that the men and youths have a higher return on investment than the women implying that such power differences still exist. Hence, it is recommended that women should be organized in groups for empowerment. This will enable them utilize their collective strength through division of labour in fish farming.
