Understanding Nutrient - Contaminant Tradeoffs in fish consumer preferences
Fish consumers are often challenged by tradeoffs between nutritional benefits and contaminant risks, which increase due to environmental pollution. Health campaigns and labeling initiatives can guide decision-making by providing information both on contaminant risk and nutritional value of a product, but it is not well understood how consumers react to such complex dual labels. We use data from a stated choice experiment in Kenya’s Lake Victoria …
How the pre and post Covid-19 era have shaped system understanding of the socioeconomic impact of small-scale inland fisheries
The current study provided a socioeconomic quantification of small-scale inland fisheries in East Africa using fish market information data for major markets in the pre (2009–2017) and post COVID-19 containment (Jan–May 2022) eras. The socioeconomic status index (SEI) incorporated 6 dimensions: access to fresh fish, access to market, available fish processing (drying) infrastructure, favourable price range, high quantity range traded, and high se…
Impacts of algal blooms and microcystins in fish on small-scale fishers in Winam Gulf, Lake Victoria
Lake Victoria, bordered by Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda, provides one of the largest freshwater fisheries in the world and supports millions in small-scale fishing communities. Historical environmental change, including population growth, nutrient loading, introduced invasive species, and rising temperatures, has resulted in eutrophication and persistent cyanobacterial harmful algae blooms (cyanoHABs) over recent decades, particularly in the shall…
Social Constructions of Health-Environment Risks
Cyanobacterial blooms are expanding around the globe in frequency and intensity. Using cultural models to unravel local meanings, this study explores how stakeholders (fishers, aquaculturalists, and regional experts) from the Nyanza Gulf of Lake Victoria understand cyanobacterial blooms and their impact on human health. The study also examines resource user and expert perceptions of how these blooms have impacted the livelihoods of fishers and aq…
The Lost Coin
Whereas small-scale fisheries account for the largest proportion of fish catches and employment in most developing countries, their value remain underestimated due to inadequate data collection systems, open access challenges and unreported landings. This study provided a methodological option to compare, contrast and validate official fisheries statistics in small-scale fisheries of Lake Victoria, Kenya. A standardized Fishing Business Model (FB…
