    Description: This study focused and examined gender issues in economics of fish farming in Maiduguri and its environs. The socio-economic characteristics of the fish farmers were examined. The profitability of the industry and constrains affecting fish farming in the study area were analyzed. Stratified random sampling technique was used due to the heterogeneous nature of the population considering 30% of the fish farmers as the sampled size. Descriptive statistics and net farm income were used to analyse the data obtained. It was revealed that 81.25% of the respondents were male while female fish farmers represented 18.75% of the respondents. 84.40% of the respondents had tertiary education while farmers with secondary certificate and adult education constituted 12.50% and 3.10% respectively. Net farm income profitability analysis of male and female farmers were N193,767:00 and N445,557:00 respectively. It was also observed that the major constraints militating against fish farming in the study area were scarcity of fingerlings, lack of improved technology, inadequate capital, high cost of equipments, lack of land and management difficulties. It was recommended that adequate training, continuous capacity building and improved technology in fish production must be made available to farmers: and farmers should have access to sources of fingerlings.

    Description: There are more occupational and health hazards in the Fishing Industry than in other occupational categories in the world. In Nigerian Industrial Fisheries, safety measures are regulated while little attention is given to safety standards in the artisanal fisheries. In West Africa, the coastal artisanal canoe fatality rates have been given in 1991-1994 to be 300 to 1,000 per 100,000 fishermen. Thus, the fatality rate in Nigerian artisanal fisheries, (coastal states) has been estimated to be 999 to 3,329 per 100,000 fishermen. The high rate is due to piracy, boundary disputes between fishing communities, unemployment, societal low value for human life and human labour. The paper discusses the various types of accidents associated with artisanal coastal fisheries and give recommendations. Fishermen have rights to safe working conditions in their working environment just as workers in offices and factories on land.

    Description: Fish farming as an economic activity in Nigeria is predominantly an extensive land based system practiced at subsistence level in water. The socio-economic analysis of fish farming in Ogun State, South-Western Nigeria was carried out using data collected from sixty randomly selected fish farms. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, costs and returns, as well as regression analysis. The relationship between fish output and five inputs: feed, fertilizer, lime, labour and fingerlings were measured using Cobb-Dou production model. Results suggest that a unit increase in feed application contributed 68 percent increase to the profitability of the farms and this was significant at p〈0.1. Also, fertilizer was significant at p〈0.05, the results suggest that a unit increase in fertilizer application contributed 5l percent increase to the profitability of the fish farms. The model explained 79% of the variation in total output. On the whole, fish farming was found to be profitable with a benefit-cost ratio of 1.23 and the rate of return on investment is 0.19. It is recommended that fish farmers in the study area should increase their use of feed, lime and fingerlings and decrease their use of fertilizer and labour. Socio-economic characteristics of fish farmers showed that most of them were males, married and middle aged with formal education.

    Description: The Niger Delta, a 30,000 km2 wetland of global ecological significance is located at the southernmost part of Nigeria. The Delta is dissected by a dense network of rivers and creeks of saline and freshwater surface bodies. The brackish water (saline) sector consists of estuaries and intertidal mangrove swamps; the total brackish water area for the Niger Delta estimated at about 7,415 km2. The mangrove oysters grow chiefly in brackish water creeks of Bayelsa, Delta and Rivers States, found attached to the aerial roots of the mangrove Rhizophora racemosa (Red mangrove). Mangroves are salt-tolerant evergreen forests found along sheltered coastlines, shallow-water lagoons, estuaries, rivers or deltas; stands stretching 30-40 km inland with an estimated area of 997, 700 ha in Nigeria. Aquaculture has an important role in the development of many national economies and plays a key role in rural development. The abundance of a natural population of mangrove oysters in the Niger Delta makes seed collectors and growing easier and inexpensive. The culture of mangrove oysters by the locals will contribute significantly to economic growth, increases income and food security, efficient utilization of surplus rural labour and reduced social problems, poverty alleviation, and social stability. This paper enumerates the culture and socio-economic benefits derivable from the practice of aquaculture through the sustainable culture of the native mangrove oysters.

    Description: Socio-cultural impact of tourism has become a veritable tool for fisheries development in Nigeria. Little wonders that Nigeria who has a great potential in tourism and rich cultural heritage and notable festivals attracts tourist not only in Nigeria but other parts of the World are not fully explored. Among many other popular festivals is the Niger Delta holds the Ikwere, Kalabari and Obirika festivals, to celebrate the water head dress that imitate the heads of fish or water birds. Many communities, including those in north, have a version of the harvest festival. Also in the north, the Argungu fishing festival occasion takes place in Argungu, in Birnin Kebbi State, during February and dates back to the 16th century. During the festival, hundreds of local men and boys enter the water armed with large fish net scoops, and the competition is to catch the biggest fish. With a population of almost 140 million people comprising of over 250 ethnic groups, Nigeria is a blend of exciting socio-cultural diversity that has produced a land of un parallel opportunities for fisheries development.

    Description: Itowolo is a fishing village being boarded with Lagos lagoon on nearly every side except the southern part which opened to the Ikorodu road from Mile 12 part of Agboyi - Ketu Local Council Development Area. During the raining season, the water level increases which possibly cause flood at heavy down pour while low water level of higher salinity during the dry season. The indigenes are primarily fisherfolks and they are effective in their fishing activities by having individual functional canoe ranging from small unmotorised paddled dugout type to outboard ones. The main gears used for fishing in the area are cast nets, gill nets, traps, hooks and lines among which cast net is prominently used Their landings during the raining season involve different species of fishes such as Heterobranchus species, Heterotis species, Channa species including others while tilapia of different species take the greatest percentage of their catches during the dry season. The shrimps top the population of catches between the months of July September. The dwellers during off fishing season engage in other economic activities that generate income such as petty trading, palm tapping, fuel wood trading, transport business, mat making, hairdressing, fashion designing, computer business centres and telecommunication vendors. In general, fishing activities are characterized by low unit productivity, intensive labour, relative low capital, low operational costs and limited gear coverage. High post harvest losses are usually experienced due to lack of suitable storage facilities which eventually lead to relative low profit.

    Description: Content of fishery in agricultural activities of rural women was carried out in Kukawa L.G.A of Borno State. A total of 96 respondents were randomly interviewed with the aid of structured questionnaire and data presented with descriptive statistical tools. In addition to reproductive role in marriage, women are actively involve in agriculture for economic benefit, but weak socio-economic variables need to be strengthen for improve productivity and economic benefit. Fishery (10%) has a low content in the agricultural activities of rural women which is dominated by crop farming and agricultural processing. Poor annual financial return of N19, 585.33 on average as reward for long period of 8 hours on average put in agriculture is discouraging. Diversification into fish marketing and process provides avenues for viable daily income to the women in the area. Identified constraints are extension delivery, financial poverty, farm land, technological input and infrastructure. Opportunities to empower rural agricultural women include social capital formation, co-operative group, access to fertile farm land, pro-active extension information dissemination as well as participation in government programmes like on-going fadama and agricultural credit schemes.

    Description: Fishing has traditionally been a major source of livelihood for fishing households in Kainji Lake Basin (KLB). It plays a significant role to the rural and national economy in terms of employment, income and source of protein. However, the livelihoods of the primary actors (fishers) are being jeopardized by the depletion of fishery resources, mainly due to over exploitation and poor management. This paper examines poverty among the fishing households in KLB using empirical data. Foster Greer Thorbecke (FGT) Model was adopted for the analysis. The results reveal greater poverty (over 60%) with minimal inequality among fishing households. Finally, the paper advances reasons based on the implications of the study for designing intervention strategies by policy makers and the like.
