“…The observed high level of education among the fish marketers could be directly linked to the prevalence of younger persons. Having the majority of the fish marketers being educated could be linked to the cosmopolitan nature of the study area which aligns with the position of Akinpelu et al (2013) and Anyim et al (2021) that educated persons rarely live in rural areas but urban cities. The mean years spent in formal schooling ± standard deviation was 13.43±2.07.…”

This study assessed the occupational hazards and injuries associated with frozen fish marketers in Abeokuta metropolis, Ogun State of Nigeria. A two-stage sampling procedure was adopted in sampling 150 fish marketers from 10 popular markets within the study area. Data were elicited with the aid of an interview schedule and analyzed using descriptive statistics such as frequency distribution, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) analytical tools. Results obtained showed that the mean age of the fish marketers was 37.96±11.04 years, the majority were females (87.9%), married (83.2%), and had a mean household size of 9.00±4.00 persons. Also, 54.4% and 42.3% of the fish marketers had secondary and tertiary education, respectively. In terms of safety measures adopted, all the fish marketers used pain relievers after work, while higher proportions usually use hand gloves (76.5%), wear nose masks (86.6%), wear an apron (80.5%), use plaster in cases of cuts (53.7%) and do regular medical check-up (49.7%). Most (60.4%) of the fish marketers were found to be in good/safe working conditions, while more than half (53.0%) of them were exposed to a high level of hazard. A significant negative relationship existed between working conditions and the level of hazard experienced by the fish marketers (r = –0.721, p ≤ 0.01). It was concluded that occupational hazards are associated with frozen fish marketing. The study recommended that fish marketers should operate from shops to avoid dirty, dusty, and noisy environments to improve their working conditions.

“…Salah satu strategi yang sering mereka lakukan adalah diversifikasi mata pencaharian. (Anyim et al, 2020;Helmy, 2020) berpendapat bahwa diversifikasi mata pencaharian adalah cara (penganekaragaman) yang dilakukan petani dalam hal memenuhi kebutuhan hidupnya dengan melakukan berbagai kegiatan yang menghasilkan pendapatan dengan tujuan untuk meningkatkan standart hidupnya. Artinya apabila petani mengalami penurunan pendapatan dan kerugian maka petani akan tetap memiliki pendapatan lain sebagai cadangan dengan melakukan pekerjaan lain sebagai sumber pendapatan.…”

This research examined the involvement of women in various stages of fish processing in Ekiti State, Nigeria. A sampling method was used to select 90 women fish processors, and data was collected through structured interviews. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, such as frequencies, percentages, and means, along with charts. Additionally, probit regression analysis was conducted to identify socio-economic factors influencing women's participation in fish processing. The findings revealed that, on average, women involved in fish processing were 38.5 years old, with 57% being married and 28.4% being single. A majority (61.7%) had received formal education, and nearly all (91%) were members of cooperative societies. The study found that women were primarily engaged in scaling, gutting, and sticking (87%), with 60% using the hot smoking method. Most processing equipment was locally fabricated, with 15% using drum ovens, 25% using metal sheets, 45% using clay ovens, and 40% using kilns. The majority (85%) used firewood as a fuel source, and 89% packaged their fish in baskets and paper. The probit regression analysis indicated that age, education, access to credit, and access to markets were positively and significantly related to women's participation in fish processing. Marital status and experience in fish processing were also positively related but not significantly. The study concluded that women utilized various methods, equipment, and energy sources in fish processing. Based on the findings, recommendations were made, including assisting women in forming cooperative societies to enhance their business management skills, prioritizing women in accessing credit and loans, and stabilizing fish product prices to mitigate business risks among women processors.
