    Description: The study identified the perception of fish farmers in Oyo State to climate change as well as the adaptation strategies used by them. A two stage stratified sampling method was used to select 156 fish farmers from the four Agriculture Development Programme (ADP) zones and eight local government areas (LGAs) in Oyo State. Structured questionnaires were administered to the fish farmers. Descriptive statistic and linear regression were used to analyses data collected. The result shows that majority were males (84.0%\}, dominant age (66.0%) were within the age bracket of 46-65 years. The farmers are literate as 46.8% have attained secondary education, 69.9% had above six years of experience in fish farming experience and 97.5% were engaged in culturing catfish Clarias spp. The highest portion (70.5%) earns less than N500,000 as income from fish sale. Due to effect of climate change on fish production in the study area, fish farmers reported different types of adaptation strategies. Result of the linear regression analysis indicates that there is a significant (p〈0.05) negative effect of household size and years of fish farming experience and significant (p〈0.1) positive effect of age on farmers' perception of climate change on fish production.

    Description: The study considered the relationship between micro credit fishing, farming and non farm employment as a means of sustanable livelihood. Demographic data showed that more male are involved in active fishing while females are more involved in processing, preservation and marketing. Also shown was that female fisherfolks engaged in more than two other livelihood activities apart from fishng at atime more than their male counterpart. Fishing becomes a secondary occupation in the wet season, such as farming, trading, hunting, tailoring, artisans, labour etc. further results showed that 32% of males and 68% of females in the Lagoon communities have access to micro credit.

    Description: The study examines the vulnerability and adaptation options of individual fishing households to climate change. Fourteen out of 24 fishing communities, with a total population of 20, 0000 artisanal marine fisher folks living on the 15 km coastal line in Ogun State, South West Nigeria were studied. Sources of data are Focus Group Discussion (FGD) with fisher-folks and questionnaires administered to 186 fishing households to assess vulnerabilities and methods of adaptation. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results of qualitative data reveal that the area is subjected to flooding due to storm surges during the rainy season months of May ? October hindering several socio-economic activities. The major adaptive strategy is fishing the seven marine beels during the peak of the wet season. Descriptive statistics reveal that 92.5% who are male, attained primary education (47.3%) and fishing is a major source of livelihood (92.50%). Different fishing gears are used for the capture of more than 16 fin-fish and shell fish species. Adaptation needs should be mainstreamed into the development of the abundant fisheries resources for guaranteed sustainable livelihoods of marine fisher folks in Ijebu-Waterside of Ogun State, Nigeria.
