This article assessed women's participation in fisheries activities from 100 respondents using purposive and convenience sampling. The results revealed that young, married, and experienced women with no formal education dominated fisheries activities. The majority (76%) learned of fisheries technologies from sources other than extension and 68% of the respondents were involved in fish processing. The women reported problems that hindered improvement in the fisheries sub-sector. Regression analysis indicated a significant positive relationship between marital status, educational attainment, household size, and years of experience on the women's level of income at a 5% probability level. The authors call for increased extension efforts, improved access to education for women and girls, and greater accessibility to credit facilities.
