“…The proportion of the respondents who violated regulations because of inadequate MCS reveals lack of enforcement by appropriate authorities in the lakes. Similar situation was reported by Nwabeze and Erie (2013) in lake Jebba, Nigeria that poor implementation of sanctions by authorities increased non-compliance with fishing regulations. According to Eggert and Lokina (2008), illegal fishing will occur if enforcement effort is not so high as to remove the incentive to do so and if the effective violation is not too great, nor its cost too low.…”

Artisanal fishery has been of immense importance to human existence worldwide. Fishing regulations have not been effective due to non-compliance. This is disastrous to the fisheries as it could lead to collapse and fishery closure. The study was carried out to ascertain the fisher's compliance with fishing regulations in lakes Geriyo and Ribadu, Nigeria. Data were collected through surveys and enumerator interview from forty-two respondents; twenty-one in each lake. Data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics and t-test with Microsoft Excel 2007. Result shows that ban on explosives was the most complied regulation in lake Geriyo (100%) while the most violated was mesh size regulation (47%). In lake Ribadu, ban on explosives was also the most complied regulation (100%) while the least was also mesh size regulation (33.33%). The respondent's compliance in the lakes was significant (p<0.05). Economic reason was the primary and leading motive for non-compliance with regulations in the study areas. Government should tackle fisher's low economic status, invest in their education, enlighten them on the need for conservation, step-up regulation enforcement and integrate the fishers as key stakeholders in any fisheries management plan.

“…Women also contribute as entrepreneurs and provide labour before, during and after the catch in both artisanal and commercial fisheries (Wamukota and McClanahan, 2017). For example, in West Africa, the so called 'Fish Mamas' played a major role; they usually own capital and are directly and vigorously involved in the coordination of the fisheries chain, from production to sale of fish (Britwum, 2009;Nwabueze and Erie, 2013;Lawal et al, 2016;Uduji and Okolo-Obasi, 2018b; Anene and Oputa, 2014;Thorpe et al, 2014;Williams, 2000). In Nigeria, the most significant role play by women in both artisanal and industrial fisheries is at the processing and marketing stages, where they are very active in all geo-political regions (Ifejika et al, 2009;Akinwumi et al, 2011;Chilaka et al, 2014;Amiyi, 2014;Obamuyi, 2012;Omotoyi and Fregene, 2009;Uduji and Okolo-Obasi, 2018a;Shimang, 2005;Sotolu, 2011).…”

“…Their role in food production like coastal fishery has become more important as a way of escaping poverty to improve or enhance food security. Generally, women in fishing areas have been observed to participate significantly in fisheries and play essential role in enhancing livelihood of its families (Nwabueze et al, 2013).…”

The study investigated women participation in fish processing and packaging in Delta State, Nigeria. Multi stage sampling procedure was used in the selection of 180 respondents for the study. Data for the study was collected using structured questionnaire, focus group discussion and participatory observation. Data collected were analyzed using simple descriptive statistics, mean scores and inferential statistics. The result indicated that majority of the women were married (57%) and literate with few having non-formal education (38%). The result further indicated that the three major processing methods used by the women to include hot smoking (57%), air drying (25%), and salting (19.4%). Packaging methods include baskets (47.2%), paper cartons (37.2%), jute bags (46.0%) and palm rope (58.0%) used in tying staked fish. The probit regression analysis on socioeconomic factors affecting participation of women in fish processing and packaging indicated that age (0.00642***), education (0.00256**), income (0.3609**), access to credit (0.00068**), household size (0.2475**) and access to market (0.03150**) are all positive and significantly related to participation of women in fish processing and packaging. The study recommends the formation of cooperative societies among themselves to ease off some of the problems they encountered in their enterprise.
