  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: The Gender Roles of Women in Aquaculture and Food Security in Nigeria Author: Olufayo, Mosun Women are recognized as agents of changes and development .Their involvement in aquaculture is one issue that needs to be addressed when dealing with rural communities and poverty alleviation among the rural women .The major way to ensure that women utilize their full potentials in profitable aquaculture is to provide capacity building support which would eventually lead to poverty alleviation among them .The role of women in adopting new aquaculture technology has been restricted and often ignored because of the socio-cultural taboos against them. This paper enlightens women on the different stages of production in aquaculture that they could be involved in, as fishers for home consumption, they contribute significantly to the nutritional needs of their families. The idea is to empower the women with modern technologies in aquaculture to generate enough revenue to sustain their families and save the society from menace of fish scarcity. When women are involved in aquaculture production, it will go a long way in achieving the millennium development goals of eradicating extreme poverty, hunger and empowering women in Nigeria.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Evaluating the Social Impacts of Eco- and Ethical Fish Labeling on Small-scale Producers in Senegal Author: Holvoet, Katrien, Tindall, Charlotte, Kebe, Moustapha, Ndiaye, Papa Gora This paper provides an overview of ongoing work undertaken in Senegal to understand the implications of fisheries certification on the octopus value-chain. It analyses the opportunities to increase social and economic benefits for poorer groups and to establish a more gender sensitive approach to eco labelling through the implementation of upgrading strategies addressing equity gaps. It will describe the octopus value chain and give details on how the introduction of certification, such as an eco- or ethical fish label, may affect different actors in the chain and their ability to capture benefits. Over the past few years there has been a large increase in the interest for eco- and fair trade labelled produce, and there is increasing interest both by the fisheries themselves to gain market access and by international buyers who are keen to protect their reputation on responsible sourcing. While there are a number of potential benefits of certification including a promotion of sustainable fisheries management and increased investment in development, there are also a number of challenges, potential unintended consequences and social and economic elements that will not be addressed by certification. For instance, octopus certification is constrained by the limited number of countries exported to and the interest of buyers to produce certified and ethical labelled octopus. This research provides an analysis of the key issues in Senegal related to the proposed octopus certification. It also proposes responses to encourage a pro-poor and gender sensitive approach through supporting upgrading strategies that will be explored within the ongoing project.
