  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Climate Change: Implication on Aquatic Resources, Food Security and Livelihoods Author: Adedeji, F.A., Olaoye, J.O., Badmus, Olanrewaju, Laniyi, A.L., Obadiah, F.V., Yacim, S.E. Climate changes are growing environmental concerns which are much in the scientific government and public eye at present. The potential impact on aquatic resources and livelihood are immense. From local to global levels, fisheries and aquaculture play important roles for food supply, food security and income generation. Some 43.5 million people work directly in the sector, with the great majority in developing countries. Adding those who work in associated processing, marketing, distribution and supply industries, and the sector supports nearly 200 million livelihoods. Aquatic foods have high nutritional quality, contributing 20 percent or more of average per capita animal protein intake for more than 1.5 billion people, mostly from developing countries. They are also the most widely traded foodstuffs and are essential components of export earnings for many poorer countries. Extreme events will also impact on infrastructure, ranging from landing and farming sites to post-harvest facilities and transport routes. They will also affect safety at sea and settlements, with communities living in low-lying areas at particular risk. Livelihood diversification is an established means of risk transfer and reduction in the face of shocks, but reduced options for diversification will negatively affect livelihood outcomes.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Dagaa Fishery: The Unknown Wealth of Lake Victoria Author: Onyango, Paul Ochieng', Luomba, Joseph Onyango The paper discusses contribution of dagaa Rastreneobola argentae fishery to Tanzanian economy. It uses data from two studies conducted in Lake Victoria as well as literature retrieved from Fisheries Division and other institutions. Results indicate that dagaa fishery generates an average monthly income over $150 to individual fisher/trader, provided employment and brought in substantial foreign exchange over $2 million annually. This has enabled government to improve road networks, health care and education systems within the dependent communities. However, the fishery is still faced with inadequate technologies for processing and value addition, poor local markets for fish and little exploitation among others. In conclusion, dagaa is an important resource among the fisheries of Lake Victoria. Improved handling and processing and promotion of economic value are likely to increase benefits to the riparian communities as well as sustaining already depleted Nile perch stock.
