“…This finding is in consonance with Akingba et al (2016) who reported that majority of the fisher folks (59%) aged between 21 and 40 years in Ondo State were married and operated the nuclear family. In addition, the observed high number of married fishers in the area is similar to that of Olaoye et al (2012) who reported that the artisanal sector is constituted majorly by married people fishers. The possible reason might be linked to the fact that married people have more pressing demands and problems at hand to solve than the singles and those that are divorced.…”

The study examined empirically gender differentials in income inequality, among crayfish harvesting households in some selected State of Niger Delta Region of Nigeria. A multi-stage and stratified random sampling techniques was employed in selecting a total of 409 (300 males and 109 females) crayfish harvesters. A structured questionnaire and interview schedule survey was used for the study. Descriptive statistical tools (percentages, frequencies and means) and inferential statistics (gini coefficient and Lorenz curve) were used to analyze the data of the study. The results revealed that income inequality of male crayfish harvesters (0.64) was higher than that of females (0.58). However, the pooled result showed that the level of income inequality among the crayfish harvesters in the areas was generally high (0.63). The study recommended that government should ensure gender equality and equity in the provision, allocation and distribution of productive (harvesting) resources and services, women should be given unrestricted access to productive resources, be made to have fair share in the family wealth, be integrated in policy formulation and implementation on community matters, and be given power to take decision in the sector among others.

“…This implies that male fisherfolks engaged in fish catching because they have the ability to withstand the tedious operation of canoe paddling. The result corroborated that of Olaoye et al (2012) who observed that women are involved more in fish processing and marketing than other fishery activities.…”

The effect of climate change on livelihood activities of artisanal fisher folks was carried out in coastal areas of Southwest Nigeria. Multi-stage sampling procedure was used to select 422 respondents. Data were obtained with the use of structured interviewed schedule and subjected to descriptive and inferential statistical analysis at 0.05 level of significance. Results indicated that 80.8% of the fisher folks were between 31-50 years of age, 92.6% were married, 82.7% had 16 years and above fishing experience. Also, 96.9% of fisher folks do not have access to extension services. Majority (97.2%), (85.8%) and (84.8%) experienced intensity rainfall, flooding, and ocean as effect, respectively. There were significant relationships between effect of climate change on livelihood activities of artisanal fisher folks and their age (χ2 = 11.0; P = 0.001), sex (χ2 = 38.5; P = 0.000), marital status (χ2 = 27.9; P = 0.000), house hold size (χ2 = 11.13; P = 0.011) and income (χ2 = 51.94; P = 0.000). Results also showed that there is significant difference in the effect of climate change on livelihood of artisanal fisher folks (F = 13.565; P = 0.000) across the selected States in South West Nigeria. The study concludes that Lagos State fisher folks recorded the highest effect of climate change followed by Ogun State and then Ondo State. The study recommended that extension officer should create awareness on climate change and credit facilities should be accessible to fisher folks with the services of good roads, healthcare and market to facilitate their adaptation to the effect of climate variability in fishing communities across sampled States.

Rivers State possesses abundant natural and ecological resources for sustainable fish production in Nigeria, but the overall output level implied that these resources had not been optimized. Therefore, research is needed to isolate the missing link in the artisanal fish production value chain. The study examined the impact of socioeconomic characteristics on artisanal fish production among fisher folks in Andoni Local Government Area, Rivers State, Nigeria. Thirty artisanal fisher folks randomly selected from four communities through structured questionnaires and interview schedules were used for the study. Descriptive statistics involving frequencies and percentages and regression equations were utilized in the analysis. Age, household size, educational level, Artisanal fishing experience and extension contact played significant roles in determining the output and gross income of artisanal fishermen folks in Andoni L.G.A. To change the direction of management of affairs towards increased artisanal fishery in Rivers State, Nigeria, the study recommended that relevant government agencies saddled with the responsibility of making and implementing decisions in the fishery sub-sector should give pride of place to variables such as age, household size, educational level, Artisanal fishing experience and extension contact.
