However some based on their religion may not eat some kind of fish. All parts of the fish is used depending upon the type of meal. 1.4.3 From where do you source your fish? Is it from local small-scale fishermen? Commercial fisheries? Or perhaps is it imported?) 40 1.Locally caught by small-scale fishermen 2.Imported fish From local fishermen Sometimes from Tema Cold store at the harbour From local small scale fishermen From local small-scale fishers From local small-scale fishers and coldstore Gulf of Guinea Both local small scale and cold stores Landing sites from local fishermen Local fishermen Local fishermen, IUU transhipment (saiko), Cold store Local small scale fisheries Local small scale fisheries Imported species...eg.Cold store Local small scale fisherman Local small scale fishermen Local small scale fishers Local small scale fishers, frozen fish from the Cold store Locally caught Cold store(imported) Locally caught by small scale fisheries Locally caught by small scale fishermen Locally caught by small scale fishers Imported from neighbouring countries Locally caught by small-scale fishers Imported fish from the coldstore Locally caught fish from local fishermen. Locally caught from local fishermen and imported Locally caught small-scale fishermen Imported fish Locally caught,small scale fishermen and imported species sometimes Small Scale fishermen is primary source, commercial fisheries or from cold stores when not in season Small local scale fishermen, IUU transhipment (saiko)and cold store The fresh water fish is Bought from local fishermen and marine fish bought smoked from the market We buy from the landing site from local small scale fishermen....we prefinance them by providing them with nets so they sell to us 1.4.4 Where are the fish kept that you buy? (e.g. in a cold store, open at the place where the fish are caught? Or other place?) 40 Fish are kept in the boat in the open and sold to customers Fish is collected from the canoe and carried to the shore, it's kept in a big pan in an open space Fish is in the boat, buyers buys directly from the boat Fish is kept in a big pan in an open space Fish is kept in a boat,it's counted from the boat to buyers Fish is kept in a container in an open space at the landing site Fish is kept in a pan in the boat,fishermen fetch from the pan to the buyers Fish is kept in the canoes and put into our bowls once bought Fish is kept in the open at the landing site Fish is kept in the open space at the landing site but in an aluminium pan, and bigger species like Yellowfin Tuna, White Marlin are kept in the sand in the open Fish is usually kept in the boat in the open space, and later sold to women in their pans Fish kept in the open space in the boats before trading Fishes are kept in the canoes in open space and sold in crates Fishes are kept in the canoes in open space and sold to customers Fishes are kept in the canoes in open space and some on plain rubber on the ground and sold to customers in the open space Fishes are kept in the canoes in open space at the selling point Fishes are kept in the canoes in the open before they are sold to customers Fresh; It is kept in the canoes and packed into bowls as we buy., saiko is sold at cold stores at elmina and sekondi From the canoe it is off loaded and kept in the open. We also buy from the Cold store From the canoe it's fetched onto a tray and it's left at the open space Big fishes are pulled from the canoe to the ground before it's sold In open spaces where the fish are kept In the open at the landing site in the sand Some in the cold store In the sand in open at the beach It is kept in an open place on the beach. The large pelagic are dragged through sand and put tarpaulin on the beach. Small Pelagics are kept in the canoes and carted in basins for us. It is kept in the canoes and sold to us It's in the canoe so they count it depending on the quantity you desire to buy...It's sorted out depending on the sizes before they sell to us It's kept in a pan in the open at the place fish was landed Kept in Canoe Kept in canoe Cold store Open in the landing site Open space (from the canoe and boat)at the landing beach The fish are kept in a container (case, ) with a layer of ice for preservation which is also covered with a tarpaulin. This is placed in the canoe and brought to the shore. The fish are kept in crates and kept under sheds at the landing sites The fish is carted from the canoes in pans and left in the open on the beach, large pelagics are left on the beach on the bare sand The fish is in a basket inside the canoe and it's counted into bowls of buyers The fish is kept in a basket in the boat upon arrival ,a rubber is then laid on the ground and the fish is poured on the rubber before they count to us to buy The fish is kept in a crate under a shed at an open place The fish is kept in a net inside the boat, they fetch it from the boat and sell directly to us The local fisherman fish is kept in the canoes and brought on shore in pans., Siako is kept in Cold stores They are in boxes and fish is kept in the canoe brought to the shore by the local fishermen 1.4.5 What are the main problems with where you get your fish from? (e.g. access problems to the site, limited choices, distance to where you can select fresher fish?) 40 Access to site is a problem During the rainy season the landing site becomes muddy and slippery Fish is of poor quality sometimes Scarcity of fish. Fish is scarce sometimes which increases the price of the few we buy We prefinance them with money to buy inputs but on return the fish they give us doesn't match to the money we gave which leads to losess sometimes There are no sheds at the site We f Fish is sometimes not in a good condition before we buy from the fishermen Fish is expensive sometimes We do not have easy access to fresh fish Fish is too expensive Scarcity of fish Lack of government own cold storage facilities For fish that is to be processed we sometimes do not get fresh fish to buy since the fish keeps long at sea Head porters rejection to continue due to tiredness though charged Excessive duty charges Spoilage due to far distances Police harrassment at boarders If it is expensive. It gets muddy during the rainy season and we can easily slip and get hurt There are parasites in the water which can easily enter the human body which is very harmful There are no sheds No proper landing site Limited choices Cost of fish Lack of electric power to operate the cold stores fully Limited choices of fish No cold store facility Sea defence now a death trap as it causes boats to capsize No shed Urinary and toilet facilities Middle men interceptions (cold store) within Ghana No insueance of duty on imported fish from cote d'Ivoire Middle men involvement in over pricing After sales the one who sells the fish to the women also collect some from the buyers NO shed Distance to access fish No landing site No toilets and bathrooms No landing site, no shed, non availability of trush cans at vantage points for rubbish collection, no urinal and toilet facilities No sheds to protect from the sun No toilet facility We travel a long distance to access fish Landing site too small to accommodate more canoes because of the sea defence No cold storage facility No space at landing site especially when sea extends its boundaries Stones in the sea causes canoes to capize at the landing site Poor sanitation No shed Limited choices of fish No space to offload the fish when the fishermen arrive as the sea flows inland sometimes Non availability of locally caught fish(fresh) at the landing site on some days. During the low season, it is difficult to get fresh fish to consume. Inconsistencies in pricing makes fish very expensive during the high and low season. Price of fish is high and after smoking we end up not getting profit , the fish shrinks after processing. Difficulty in buying the fish when the fishermen arrive,when it rains it becomes slippery that one can easily slip and fall into the lake The activities of illegal fishing Fish too expensive Fish not available We travel long distance to access fish No shed to protect us from the sun No toilet facility Lack of access to credit The sea waves at our landing site is stronger so we don't get a lot of fish landing here so we have to travel to distance places for our supplies. Fishers complain of fuel and therefore do not like coming to us . The shed at the shore is shared with the fishermen and it is not able to accommodate all of us The tidal waves are very high sometimes when we want to cross to the other end of the lake to purchase fish...we are bitten by mosquitoes when we want to cross the lake to buy fish,We have no bathrooms at the site where we buy fish Our landing site ha Theft scarcity of fish Fish too expensive Lack of government owned cold storage facilities to store fresh fish Theft,limited access to pans and basins for collecting fish from the canoes Limited choices and distance to source fish, no access cold facilities There are prolong bargaining at the beach with the fishermen which can be stressful. Also there are issues with unpredictable high tides which prevents fishermen from either going to sea to catch fish or prevented from landing which affects our source There are no issues with sanitation and access to our landing site. There are other landing sites far and near where we buy fish. We travel by transport to far places for our purchases but wished we could always get fish close by. There are no problem at our landing site per se. The places to get alternative sources of fish is farther from their communities and towns egs. They travel from Axim to as far as Takoradi or Sekondi to buy fish when they do not get at their landing site There are no shed nor sitting areas, about 5 people take fish from us at the landing sites before we get out of the beach. We do not have a lot of head porters. Money is also an issue if you do not have you cannot buy There are no sheds and we are left at the mercy of the weather , the banks are muddy and farmers cultivates the banks and therefore it is difficult for the canoes to berth. Also when it is windy the canoes berth elsewhere along the banks. There are no sheds at the shores for us to sit, there are no cold store for us to buy ice or store fish near the beach, the shores are muddy and rocky it poses as a hazard as we fall get hurt all the time or lose our fish purchases to mud or the lake. There is no shed at riverside No cold store facility No toilets and urinary No landing site Distances to riverside is far There is no shed at the site when it's raining No washrooms at the site There is no shed to protect us from rain and the scorching sun They do not have a Shed and sitting area, no urinary facility, distance too access fish is an issue, limited choices of fish most times and river water overflows its boundaries destroying nearby houses sometimes They have problem with the distance to where they can get fish at alternative landing sites We have to travel to near by landing sites like Elmina and Sekondi to collect our catch from our fishermen when catch is low because the fishermen complain of the cost of fuel if they come to us. We access fish from distance landing sites and cold stor When ever the water level rise we're displaced of a sitting place There's no shed to protect us from the sun There's no urinal or toilet facilities Limited choices of fish When the water level rise we're displaced of land access No shed to protect us from the sun No urinal or toilet facilities Distance to the landing site is a problem 1.5.1 Role in household decision-making around fish-related and other activities 16 At household level women are involved in decision making. In fish related activities women taken their own decisions in consultation with their husband At the household level there is inclusion of women empowerment specially issue that lies in the domain of woman. Decision made-Self mostly Decision making in the household level is all inclusive as well as on fisheries related activities Depending who controls the resource we make decision. Women make decisions on processing and trading and men for fishing etc. Shared decision making occurs at the household level. Our role in decision making is strong Play part in decision making. Equal rites The women play roles in Decision making in the household and especially in the post harvest sectors We are involved in the decision making process Women are Women control every decision that has to do with fish processing Women have high participation in household decision-making around fish related activities, since they take care of household work, child care and preparing food for the family Women have upper hand when it comes to fish processing related decision makings Women take all the decisions when it comes to fish processing and trading Yes we are involved in decision making Yes we play roles in decision making process in our homes and especially our business activities. Decision on our business is made by us. 1.5.1.1 Do you think the role of women in household decision-making is very strong? 40 Decision making in the household is dominated by the man. Yes we are consulted however, our opinion is not taken. Involvement in decision making is strong Our decision is relevant but not always taken. Not too strong Our role of decision making is not too strong with regards to our landing sites, we are not included in decision making regarding our landing site The role of women in household is strong The women needs to consult her husband Very strong We are engaged in making decisions We contribute decision making at different levels Women's role in decision making are very weak Women's role in decision making is very strong Yes Yes , we make our own decisions Yes and very strong Yes as we contribute financially therefore are views are taken Yes it is strong Yes it is strong. Fishermen, mongers and processors are invited to joint meetings where we are equally allowed to express our views on fishery activities Yes it is strong.They consider our views and implement them as well Yes it is.Our opinions considered during decision making after in depth explanations of our stance Yes our decision making is strong Yes, its very strong Yes, our decision making is somewhat strong in household management Yes, our involvement in decision making is strong Yes, our views are strongly considered Yes, women's role in decision making are very strong Yes, women's role in decision making is very strong Yes, women's role in household decision making is very strong Yes, women's role in household decision-making is very strong Yes,our decision making is strong.We make our own decisions without involving too many people like we were doing before. Yes. Yes. The role of women in household decision-making is very strong Yes. The role of women in household decision making is strong Yes....our role in decision making is strong Yes....we are consulted in making decisions Yes.Our husbands include us in decision making Yes: 2 No: 0 Somewhat: 4 Yes: 3 No: 1 Somewhat: 2 1.5.2.1 Who controls the assets that are important in small scale fishing? (Examples are items such as baskets, smoking units, other equipment) 40 All the assets are controlled by the women (4 out of 5 women) Assets that are used at sea are controlled by fishermen but assets that are used from when fish is brought through to processing and to the market are controlled by women Assets used at the sea( fishing inputs) are controlled by men Assets used from shore through to the kitchen(Processing sites) and markets are controlled by women Both men and women , men control theirs and women control their own as well Men control assets for the fishing segment, we finance but do not have control on the asset like canoes, nets and outboard motors we need a man to manage it. Women are in control over the assets for processing and trading Men control assets that relates to fishing gears and inputs for fishing and women control the assets that relates to post harvest activities Men control assets that relates to the fishing inputs. Even if a woman owns it, she need to get a man to manage it for her. When it comes to assets that relates to post harvest activities is controlled by women. Men control the assets they used and we control our own assets and equipments Men control their assets and women control their own assets in small scale fishing Men control their assets eg..fishing equipments such as canoes ,fishing net etc..women control their assets for processing Men control their assets for fishing e.g..fishing nets, canoes,gears,boats etc.. Women control their assets used for processing e.g..baskets,ovens,knives etc Men control their assets used in fishing such as boats,canoes etch.. whereas Women control their assets used in processing e.g..ovens,baskets,knives etc Men controls assets that relates to fishing and women post harvest activities Self The woman has control over her assets for processing. They control their own assets We are all allowed to control the assets we work with. We are in control of our assets We control our assets ourselves We control our own assets We control our own assets. Especially assets used for our business or self acquired We have control over our own assets Women Women control assets important in fish processing such as baskets, knives, smoking units etc Women control assets important in fish processing example kilns, racks, baskets, etc whilst men control assets important in fishing examples canoes, outboard motors, nets,etc Women control assets important in fish processing example smoking unit, baskets, racks whilst men control assets important in fishing examples canoes, outboard motors, nets Women control assets important in fish processing example smoking units, baskets, pans whilst men control assets important in fishing examples canoes, nets, motors, etc Women control assets important in fish processing such as baskets, smoking kilns, knives etc while men control assets important in fishing such as motor, boats, nets, etc Women control assets important in small scale fish processing such as baskets, smoking kilns, knives etc while the men have control over assets important in small scale fishing such as canoe, outboard motor, nets, etc Women control assets related to fish processing and trading activities whilst men control assets related to fishing activities Women control assets such as baskets, smoking kilns, knives, pan etc Women control assets that are important in fish processing, whilst men control assets related to fishing Women control the assets used in small-scale fish processing Women control their own assets Women control their assets in small scale fisheries Women control their own assets in fish processing Women have much control over assets that are used in fish processing while men control assets important in fishing fishing asset is controlled by men and processing and marketing by women. Therefore different gender control asset depending on the segment of the value chain 1.5.2.2 Is there a difference between what men and women have access to or use in small scale fishing? 40 Asset are owned by different genders depending on the segment of value chain. Assets are own differently based on the segment of the value chain Assets that are used at sea through to the shore are controlled by fishermen but from the landing site through to the processing site are controlled by non fishermen. Assets for transporting to the market is controlled by men but assets for trading are In terms of initial investment (money), women have easy access than men. There are different access rights and we are comfortable with it. Men have access to things that are gender stereotype for males and are consulted to assist when decision have to b Men canoe, net, women firewood, racks, pans, baskets, kilns etc Men do not have access to what women uses in processing e.g.,oven,baskets pans etc,and women do not have access to men's fishing equipments No difference between what men and women have access to in small scale fisheries The assets are owned based on the segment of the value chain. Men have access to fishing inputs and women processing etc The difference is that the women(the transporters and mongers) are not allowed to get on the canoe upon the arrival of the fishermen instead men(porters) transport it to the women. There are different access rights for the men and women based on what is perceive as domain for men or women and we are comfortable with it There is a difference between what women and men have access to There is a difference between what men and women have access to eg: we prefinance the fishermen before they go fishing but they sometimes return from sea with less catch which doesn't mount up to what has been given to them,they sometimes sell to other pe There is a difference between what men and women have access to in small scale fishing There is a difference between what men and women have access to...men control harvesting equipments and women control the processing equipments There is difference between what men and women have access to..we prefinance them to go to sea and upon return they sell the fish to us There is no difference between what men and women have access to We have access to most things, but with getting on a boat we don't have access. , it's assumed that women are not brave enough to see certain things that comes out of the sea when men go fishing. Yes Yes there is a difference because men control assets that relates to fishing and women assets are for processing or trading Yes there is a difference between what men and women have access to in small-scale fisheries industry Yes there is a difference when it comes to how and what is access basically men dominate fishing segment and women post harvest Yes there's a difference between what men and women have access to in small-scale fisheries Yes there's difference between what men and women have access to in small-scale fishing Yes, there is a difference Yes, there is a difference between what men and women have access to in small scale fisheries Yes, there is between what men and women have access to or use Yes, there's a difference between what men and women have access to in small-scale fishing Yes. Yes. We have access to different assets because we are involved in different segments of the value chain Yes. Assets and activities at sea to the landing sites are controlled by men. Assets and activities such as Transporting from the landing site , through to the processing are controlled by women. Transporting to the market are by men but trading is d Yes. From transportation at the landing site through to processing and markets asset used are different from assets used at sea which are used by the men Yes. The assets used by males are capital intensive and men are assisted by women Yes. Women cannot go to sea but can buy assets i.e canoe, nets, etc.women can buy for the men. A man can decide to take up processing of fish as a business but a woman cannot go fishing and take it up as a source of livelihood. 1.5.3.1 Have you met with a fisheries extension service officer in the past 12 months? 40 No Yes 1.5.3.2 How many times did you meet with a fisheries extension service officer in the past 12 months? (enter number) 22 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0 1.5.3.3 Have you received any training on fishing practices, fish processing and storage methods, fish trading and marketing, or food safety in the past 12 months? 40 No Yes 1.5.3.4 Are you able to put what you learn in trainings into practice? 36 No Yes 1.5.3.5 Are fisheries officers and extension agents accessible to women? 38 Fisheries officers are not accessible to women Most for not know the fisheries officers. Only two had contact with him No No access No,they are not accessible No.Women in Narkwa do not have access to extension agents None yet Our leaders have telephone number of the fisheries officer Sometimes accessible They are not accessible to us They do have access They do not know who the fisheries officers are. They are not aware of extension services. Yes Yes , they are easily accessible most of us have their contacts Yes ,fisheries officers and extension officers are accessible Yes he is accessible as he lives in the community this was the submission 3 respondents other three do not have access to extension services Yes, they're very much accessible to us Yes. Yes. Always available Yes. Our leaders have their contacts we have easy access to them Yes. Through a third party (NGO..women processor's group in the community) most of the time. Yes. We get their contacts from leaders of our associations Yes.they are easily accessible because they live in our community and we can walk in to their offices if we have issues 1.5.3.6 Are fisheries officers or extension agents knowledgeable about gender issues and responsive to women’s specific needs? 37 Fisheries officer have knowledge about gender issues and very responsive to women specific needs NA NOT Applicable No No response No, fisheries officers are not available in the community None yet Not answered Not answered because of lack of exposure to extension services Not met them yet Not yet Officers are not knowledgeable about gender issues Since we haven't had any encounter with the officers we can't tell if they will be sensitive to gender issues or not There are no officers address thes needs They are knowledgeable about gender issues They are knowledgeable and responsive to gender issues Yes Yes they are responsive to our needs especially with regards to bad fishing practices. We complained about the bad quality of fish being sold yo us by the fishermen and they took action. Yes they responsive to women's specific needs 1.5.3.7 Are there any issues related to women’s access to extension or support services from fisheries officers not already discussed (add the general responses)? 35 Duties of fisheries officers in communities should be spelt out well for fishers to make effective use of them Extension support services should be offered twice in a month Fisheries extension officers should be assign to every fishing community Fisheries officer need to have a dedicated office in her zone(teshie nungua) Illiteracy and ignorance of the existence of extension services has an implication on women's ability to access training and information from extension officers More women should be engaged as extension officers to bring their services closer to women More women should be engaged as fisheries officers to help bring the extension and training services closer to women NA No No issues No issues related to access to extension None yet Not answered Not yet Since I started processing, I have not met with a Fisheries extension agent. Some receive support from fisheries officers whereas others do not The role of fisheries officers in the community is not known, hence the women are unable to approach them when they have an issue which is to be handled by them(Fisheries Officer) There is a need for fisheries officers and extension officers to be assigned to Tapa Abotoase, to guide them in their fishing activities There is the need for fisheries officers and extension officers to be assigned to the community We need an extension officer who would constantly educate both processors and fishermen about appropriate caliberation of fish sold to us for processing We receive training from NGOs other than Fisheries Commission . We feel that Fisheries Commission should be able to chanel our concerns better to the Ministry for effective management and resolution of these concerns. Fisheries Commission should be givi 1.5.3.8 What prevented you from putting skills learned in training into practice? 35 Committment of members in group activities prevent us to operate as group. Cost of setting up improved technology Lack of logistics Don't understand the content of training Resistance to change Poor leadership Drying of fish. We were given covering nets for drying fish but unfortunately the fish could not dry evenly and had maggots coming out of some of them after some days Smoking with Ahotor Oven: This technology does not cook small pelagics the way we E.g.. We were introduced to an improved technology. Ie. Use of Ahotor kiln to smoke fish. I managed to construct the kiln but unfortunately I do not know where to get the galvanised component. We have been asked to stop wrapping/ packaging fish with pa Fish handling . We were not given extensive reasions for washing hands and feet before handling fish. Improved Smoking technology. We dont have new improved ovens but we have adopted the use of few firewood to smoke fish I have an improved oven but it does not work well so I have stopped using it Improved technology (Ahotor oven ), we unable to process large quantities of fish with the ahotor oven unlike the traditional kiln Chorkor Lack of Education: I've learnt about record keeping but my ability to write is limited Lack of will power to change my old ways of doing things Lack of access to logistics(improved technology) to enable us put training practices into use Lack of financial support to establish the Ahotor kiln to process fish Lack of logistics to implement packaging method Lack of logistics Lack of logistics to implement the practices Lack of logistics to put to practice what has been taught Lack of logistics to support training objectives Logistics needed to put into practice what has been taught NA Only two of the respondents have benefited from trainings. One of them does not have time to practice good hygienic practice because her fish will spoil if she makes time to implement. New technology take too long during processing so she has abandon Processing with Ahotor oven is one of such trainings.We could not put into practice because customers did not appreciate the coloration which was not the usual brown. Also, when used to process large pelagics, it takes a longer time to cook . Simple book keeping. The lessons were not practical enough and if we go by the lessons we virtually ran at a loss Some of the practices taught are laudable but unfortunately we do not have the means to put them into practice. Eg. We were taught to Wash catch with pipe borne water since the 50m from the sea shore is polluted but most of us do not have access to porta Some of us blatantly refuse to put what is learnt into practice The will power to change from our old ways of doing things Lack of adequate logistics to put what is learnt into practice Sometimes the explanations is technical and requires assistance to put into practice. Also enabling environment and neccessary parameters is absent to enable us apply what we are taught eg. Do not buy juvenile fish but unfortunately the fishermen harve The information that was shared couldn't be grasped, it was bulky The whole group says they are putting skills learnt into practice They do not have access to land. Therefore it is difficult to invest in new technologies which are permanent. We didn't have the necessary logistics to implement what was taught We don't have the working space so though we have learnt how to process we are not able to process so I sell them fresh Lack of logistics so we can't practice what we have been trained to do We were taught how to process fish using Ahotor but most people do not have it in their kitchen.. Generic issue with Ahotor; fire isn't evenly distributed which can cause the fish to go bad We're able to put all training supports into our daily processing activities Yet to be trained 1.5.3.9 What would be needed to ensure that information learned in training could be put into practice? 33 (Respondents have not received training in last 12 months. But have received trainings from CEWEFIA in the past.) mentors and technical support or extension services would be helpful 1.Provision or availability of logistics; for instance, brown paper should be made available and afford to us to enable us package our products in a safe and hygienic manner. 2.Willingness to change our ways of processing fish Access to financial support Provision of logistics, eg: cost of constructing an improved technology should be low Improved technology should be remodified to increase the number of trays and fish processed Making logistics available to put training into practice Materials and equipments needed to be able to put training into practice must be accessible More of Adult education The will power to change things up as often as possible Provision of logistics to test new smoking ideas NA Not answered One should place value on the business Logistics should be available for effective use and practice Providing logistics needed to put the training into practice e.g.,. Ahotor oven Provision of logistics Provision of logistics Change of attitudes on our parts as processors Constant supervision Provision of logistics to enable women put training ideas into practice Provision of logistics to help with the implementation of issues trained upon Provision of needed logistics at affordable prices. Eg: Access to quality brown paper to package fish in large quantities as opposed to the use of Used cement paper which is harmful to consumer's health Provision of required logistics to implement ideas gained from training Provision of required logistics to implement training skills Relevant logistics to complement training needs Simple Book keeping.There should be a lot of examples and different scenarios to make lessons very practical The need to put into consideration the space needed to put up what has been taught at trainings . eg . people want to start smoking with Ahotor but they don't have access to land to build it. There is the need for varied feasibility studies in different settings e.g the use of processing technologies for small, medium and large pelagics could be tried There should be a more practical and an enabling environment to apply what we learn There should be extensive explanations to technologies that will be adopted by processors There should be indepth description /explanation. There should be consistent follow up after training We don't have the necessary logistics to put into practice Necessary logistics should be put in place so that trainings will be useful We need logistics e.g. We need raised racks to dry our fish.Our fish is mostly washed away by the rains because we don't have access to raised racks We need some after training support services. We don't know who to contact when we have issues after training. We need the equipment necessary to enable us practice what has been taught We should do feasibility studies extensively as to how to access facilities or how to create easy and affordable access to the technology being introduced before the training starts to help us put training into practice. 1.5.3.10 Any other general discussion on the access of women to training (add the general responses)? 38 1.Training should be held on days that most women processors are at home 2.Training information(announcements) should be made public not only to association members 3.Training days should be more than ones so we can understand the content of trainings Community fish processors are open to training programmes and are expecting some Executives from women's group have access to training but the members are not available to learn what the executives learnt from training and wants to share with them Inconsistency of training offers. They have not had any form of training for the past two years. They are ready to learn new skills It is only women belonging to groups who have access to training because it NGOS (CEWEFIA) who provides training. We have more people who do not belong to groups and therefore can not access training even if they are interested. It seems members of association have access to training. Women who are not members of groups do not have access. Timing of trainings also possess challenge. Meetings should be scheduled at convenient times so we can participate Most often, women processors who are not part of women's groups /associations are not invited to trainings No No further discussions after training No other issues No prior knowledge about training Meeting and training time normally occurs on days women go to market Not Answered Only organised groups have assess to training. About 70% of processors are not in groups and therefore no access to training Processors who have been trained should be ready to train others Proposal for monthly refresher course trainings Trainings are to last for more than a day at most 3 days Still on the issue of work space to put to practice what has been taught. The representatives from various women groups who attend trainings should be empowered to explain and demonstrate practical lessons they learn to other group members upon their return The women have not received any training and are not exposed to extension services. The women have not received any training nor extension services Times allocated is not favorable for everybody. There should be regular phone calls to processors inviting them to trainings ahead of time. Training is mainly organised by NGOs and therefore not all of us are trained. Also the timing is not conducive as we can not leave our work. Training should be made more conducive to make us participate Training programmes are needed so much in Tapa Abotoase Training should be held on multiple days and not on only one day Trainings should not be held on market days because most women are unavailable Trainings are to be held frequently, at least every three months and in 2 or 3 days continuously Trainings should be done on Tuesday when they do not engage in fishing activities Trainings should be held on multiple days to ensure complete understanding of training content Trainings should held be on days that most of women are at home Trainings should be repeated to include other processors Trainings shouldn't be limited to only communities accessible by road but every fishing community even the remote ones We do not have access to any body asking us about the work we are doin We need training but we do not where to get it from We have received some form of training but we can't practice because we don't have the logistics...eg..we have been asked to clean the fish with tap water but we don't have access to tap water We need more of the Ahotor ovens and bigger nets to enable us process our fish We need more training especially for the youth who are unemployed Women are not able to access trainings. It is only fish mummies that go for training meant for processors. Women have access to regular trainings Women who aren't called for trainings should be gathered and be trained by those who have received training We could be grouped and receive training in batches for everyone to have access to trainings 1.5.4.1 How many of you feel comfortable speaking at fisheries governance meetings (e.g. BVCs or BMUs) to help decide on projects and issues affecting any element of to do with fish?

She complained about inconsistencies in pricing of fish caught. The BMU has heeded to this concern and currently all prices are uniform along the landing beaches NA No No response No, no change has been seen yet, fishers still take lights to fishing No, no significant change has occurred Non applicable Not related to governance Nothing came as a result of that Our voice is heard but we haven't seen the change yet Our voice isn't heard when we speak in public,we reported about illegal fishing but it's still ongoing Our voices are heard in fisheries governance meetings Our voices aren't heard in governance bodies We are not invited to such meetings We do not know of any public fisheries governance bodies so we are not able to meet and speak with them let alone address our needs We don't have leaders in fisheries governance to direct us,we struggle alone without anyone coming to show us what to do or assist us.When you are collapsing you go alone with no hand to lean on We talk about issues but our concerns are not addressed. Yes Yes but no changes Yes my suugestions were considered Yes our voices are clearly heard but our needs have not been addressed Yes our voices are heard but our needs have not been addressed Yes, but no significant change has taken place Yes, but till now know change has been seen Yes. But our needs have not been addressed Yes. Our voice heard but waiting to see our suugestions being implemented Yes. We complained about high prices being fixed fishermen and they have changed.we now bargain and agree on prices Yes.Our voices are heard when we speak in public fisheries governance bodies. We informed the beach management committee that we will not buy fish from any fisherman who goes fishing with generators as decreed by the government.The fishermen strongly adhe 1.5.4.7 Are there any other issues related to your ability to influence fisheries governance bodies? 34 Education Lack of Interaction between us and leadership groups Higher level of politicization Education Lack of communication Enforcement of existing laws on Tuesday fishing. Women want the sea to rest as proposed but men oppose to it Engagements with fisheries governance bodies are only done with leaders and not all the women in the processing industry Engagements with fisheries governance bodies are to be held frequently so that we can keep them updated on issues affecting the sma Fisheries officers do not engage us on any fisheries issues over the past 3 years Have never had any engagement with such people Lack of education Lack of good communication skills Poor engagement by Fisheries commissioners Lack of engagement by Fisheries officers Lack of engagement from Fisheries governance bodies in the community Lack of engagement from fisheries governance bodies Lack of engagement with fisheries governance bodies Lack of engagement with such bodies No No issues No other issues No response None yet Not answered Results oriented officials recommended There are no issues There is no unity among members so we are not able to influence governance bodies..men are mostly called for meetings but women aren't. Before, fisheries commission was testing fish to see if it's from a legal source,if it isn't from a legal source Unfortunately, officers in charge of fisheries governance do not understand the work we do as fish mongers and processors. The leaders support wrong doings related to the resource(fish) and so we are unable to influence fisheries governance bodies We don't have access to governance bodies let alone to influence We might be victimisation if you insist on your rights. We the women came together and took a decision against dumping of refuse into the sea, this rule has been implemented and has prevented pollution to some extent We wish we could express ourselves during meetings with the fishermen instead of passing it through our leaders Women are discriminated against when it comes to Fisheries Management issues Yes, lack of resources and the attitude of fishermen when it comes to decision making meetings 1.5.5.1 Do women face any gender-based discrimination or hardships in their work in the fishing sector? 40 No Yes 1.5.5.2 Describe any forms of discrimination or hardships women experience in the fishing sector. 40 At the landing beach, men are not charged any gate fees when they enter but women are charged a gate fee every time they go to the landing beach At the landing site, men do not talk to us politely At the landing sites, the fish mongers(women) are charged a certain fee for selling at the landing sites but the fishermen do not pay any fee even though we are equal stakeholders at the landing site Basically discrimination exist where asset is male dominated. We are made to pay tolls before entering the landing site because we are women irrespective of our mission where as men do not pay even if they are going to buy fish Despite the important post-harvest and livelihood support that women provide, they are more absent in resource management, decision-making, access rights, ownership of gear and boats, as well as mobility for accessing markets than their male counterpa Discrimination is faced accessing landing sites like Elmina Disrespect from their male counterparts Cheating from male counterparts Abusive nature of men when they ask for price reduction Favouritism on the part of the men on who to sell fish to and especially towards people who are not from the community Female youth who are interested in going fishing are being prevented from going to sea. Fish is at times sold to people who even came late at the expenseof others Drives refuse to pick women when the have fish on them Fishermen prefer to sell fish to outsiders than locals Drivers of public transport refuse to pick women with fish because of the scents associated with fish Fishers sell fish to their favourites even when they come late and do not sell to the person who came first. Fishers deliberately increase the price of fish in order to prevent someone from buying and reduces it for the next person Hardship: Most of us are bread winners and we require a lot of financial assistance to remain in business and fend for the family Discrimination: We do not have subsidies on the assets we use in our processing but the men do Hardships: the middlemen(women) are forced Harrassment from male conterparts Cheating from male counterparts Men are given subsides on premix fuel purchase by government but women do not get any subside on anything from government NA No discrimination yet Petty traders pay tolls everyday but other traders coming to buy fish to process do not pay Donations are not equally distributed, some receive three pans for processing whereas others do not receive anything We are not given taxis to sit inside af Processors are not involved in meetings for them to share their problems relating to their work The fishing segment which is male dominated receives subsides on their inputs whereas women do not have access to this subsides Some canoe owners gives free entry into their canoes to some women but prevent other women from entry Some women are not allowed to remove fish stuck in nets whilst other women are given that opportunity. Fish traders are discriminated against by others when boarding vehicle due to the fact that they're carrying fish with them The fisher men discriminate against women coming from outside the community to buy fish with higher cost and lower the price for women from the community There's a price discrimination against women, fish that is sold to a man at a low price will be sold to a woman at a much higher price They do not take our views into consideration, they abuse us verbally Verbal abuse by the fishermen at landing sites because of pricing negotiations and because of they are at the mercy of the fishermen they are can not talk back they might sell to them. Normally the wives of the fishermen acts as the marketers or sell the We are discriminated against by commercial vehicles and at the market we do not have proper places because of our products is perceived as having fishy smell. We are not allowed to buy subsidise patrol as women because they assume it's for men We are swindled by the fishermen when we prefinance them. They side sell the fish because we can not go fishing with them or monitor them. We do not have any recourse in these instances. We face some forms of hardships..access to our landing site is very poor especially when it rains We feel uncomfortable with the handling and off loading of fish into the source of transport during transporting of fish to processing site but we are prevented from expressing concerns. We stay in the sun for long periods of hours waiting for the canoes with no sheds over our heads. The fishermen and their wives determine prices most of the time. We were travelling to attend a meeting with arrangement made for women to board the bus and the men rather took over instead of the initial plan to get the women on board and the remaining seats for men, it was the other way round When a female boat owner wants to buy premix fuel they are deny access but they sell to only men When premix fuel is very scarce and women decide to buy for their customers (Fishermen), they are prevented There are subsidies on fishing inputs used by fishermen but there are no subsidies on assets and inputs used by women in their processing When we contract the fishermen by prefinance get their equipment they side sell because we are women and can not enforce any contract with them Women are charged gate fees before they enter the fish market while their male counterparts are not Men are given Outboard motors and premix fuel at a subsidised price while women do not get any subside on their logistics Women are not allowed to go fishing even though some have expressed their interest to do so. Men and some women speak strongly against it and have tagged it as a man's job . Women do not experience any form of discrimination in the fishing sector Women pay to enter landing sites at elmina and sekondi irrespective of what they are going to do there where as men do not. 1.5.5.3 Do women face any gender-based violence when working in the fishing sector? 40 No Yes 1.5.5.4 Are there any systematic efforts to address these issues [any described above] by local, district or central government? 40 No Yes 1.5.5.5 Are there any systematic efforts to address these issues [any described above] by non-state actors? 38 No Yes 1.5.5.6 Describe any systematic efforts to address these issues [any described above]. 39 A law has been passed that anyone who abuse a woman physically will be banned from coming to the landing beach for sometime Chief Fisherman and chief fish mongers settles disputes peacefully among us...if you do not comply to their directives you are suspended for three months Culprits are fined for wrong doing Suspensions for a month or two are also metered out to people found guilty Issues are at times settled at the police station too Culprits are suspended and fined Culprits will be called and issues settled with the appropriate conflict resolution methods favourable. Fines are sometimes also imposed when culprits keep to same acts Currently, there are no systematic efforts. We just let go and buy the fish after intimidation and verbal abuse Fines are issued against the culprits First ,they go to the queen mother if the issue isn't resolved then it is further sent to the chief fisherman to address the issue Government have begun supporting women with pans, wire mesh, small loans to help support their efforts Issues are reported to the the chief fisherman or queen mother of fish who settles disputes Issues are sent to the chief fisher man or chief fisher woman to be resolved Issues are settled by queen mother through conflict resolution methods effective for that case. Fines are issued against anyone found at fault and suspensions are given too Issues are settled with Chief fisherman if the parties not able to resolve it themselves Misunderstanding at the landing site. Issue is sent to either the Chief Fisherman or Queen mother to resolve. In some cases there are restraining order which could go with fines depending upon the severity of the issue Misunderstanding between two males or females are resolved by the Chief fisherman and Queen mother respectively. Between a male and female the chief fisherman designates one person to assist the Queen mother to resolve any misunderstanding NA No answer No effort has been made to address these issues Not Answered On Tuesdays there is a court of arbitration where disputes are settled. Self reliance The chief fisherman normally resolves such issues The chief fisherman's office address all issues of violence against women and training are given by NGOS etc on gender rights and empowerment The navy patrol settles disputes together with traditional authorities There are sanctions for people found culpable Fines are issued against people found culpable Sometimes suspension from the markets is an option There is a committee at the landing site we report such issues to for them to settle They resolve issues among themselves,if resolution fails they proceed to chief fisherman We can report such incidents to the chief fishermen. We complain to the leader responsible for women in Fisheries (non state actor)and she resolves the issue We have the chief fisherman's office and fish mummy We report to fish mummy for resolution We report to the chief fishermen(in case issue is with man) and queen mothers (issue is with a woman). We report to the fish mummy and chief fishermen . We try to resolve at our level We settle disputes together with the chief fisher woman We try to address the issues among ourselves When there is misunderstanding we go to the chief fisherman and queen mother of fish to resolve the issue..you can be asked to purchase slates or plastic chairs if you are found guilty Women are now given access to own productive tools and the fishery resources which makes them less reliant on receiving regular fish supplies from men. Being a primary boat and gear owner has advantages in bargaining power. Women have the cap 1.5.5.7 Have gender relations (roles, norms, and expectations for men and women)changed in ways that affect the fishing sector? 40 No Yes 1.5.5.7 Describe any changes that have occurred in gender relations and how they impact women’s work in the fishing sector. 39 Currently there are no changes Formally after fishing for the day, men don't help their wives with the processing but that practice has changed, tgey now help their wives in the processing or fish handling In the olden days women were not keeping records on fish bought from the fishermen.Currently,women have gained a little financial literacy that has put them on the same level such that they are able to provide proof of purchase when they buy fish from the In the past,men were not working as porters but now men are dominating in this area.Men will not come to the landing site to buy fish to process but they do so now Initially men were helping their women to process their fish but it's no longer the same men who assist their wives are mocked at nowadays Men are now getting involved in fish processing thereby reducing the work load on their wives, which was not so in the past Men are now helping women in the fish processing activivites, and this has impacted positively on women's work Men are now involved in fish processing and trading which was formally a reserved occupation for women and it has reduced the work load on women Men are now involved in fish processing which has reduced the work load on women Men are now involve in head porting by carrying fresh bought from the landing site to the homes of women which was not so in the past Men are processing fish now which was not the norm before Women potter's jobs at the landing site have been taken over by the men The men are also engaged in selling fresh fish now Men buy fish from canoes before they are sold to the women Men are now frying and sun drying fish which wasn't the usual practice Head porting had been taken over by the men which wasn't the usual practice as well Men know get involve in the fish processing business of their wives which was not so in the past and it has reduce the work load of the women Men now assist women in smoking fish nowadays, but it wasn't so in the past Men nowadays come to the riverside to purchase fish which wasn't the usual practice Men are nowadays supportive of their wives in fish processing which wasn't the usual practice Men nowadays single handed smoke fish when wives are not available Men Men used smoke fish but it's being done more than it used to be. Women were initially not fishing but are now going fishing just like their men More Women used to go to fish but it has reduced now No No change No change has occurred in gender relations None Nothing has changed Now we contribute financially therefore there is more respect from men Now women are respected, literacy level is high and this has helped to resolve issues that were causing misunderstanding,at first men taught rich women were disrespectful but due to education that mentality has changed and men are being supportive. Previously men were not Transporting fish by carrying on their heads but now both males and females can carry Previously the men helped with processing and spoke politely with us but now that has changed,they are harsh especially when bargaining for prices Previously women were not keeping records and fishermen were cheated Previously there were uniform prices of fish caught at the landing site because the queen mother was able to bargain and give all mongers a good deal but unfortunately these days, the Previously, the chief fisherman was the only person who had the right to determine prices and it was adhered to by everybody but these days, there are a lot of middlemen doing transport/ delivery at a fee which adds to cost of production of fish. Pr Previously, women were head porters and dominated in transporting from the shore to the kitchens but now men have dominated because they use tricycle. Previously women were processing and selling at the markets now men are gradually taken over Somethings have changed whereas others haven't ..women weren't independent but now they are There hasn't been any changes in gender relations and how it impacts women There is no change it is business as usual They show respect to us now than before. It has improved business. We have men now venturing into processing and trading where as women stick to the processing and trading We prefinance the men before they go to sea and they were selling to us on return but nowadays they cheat us by selling to different customers without our knowledge We prefinance them before they go fishing but on return they cheat us by sometimes selling it at the site to other customers With increased literacy we are able to sit with the fishermen and discuss and verify things Women formally go fishing but that has changed because they're now interested in the processing Men are now trading in fresh fish unlike before when they live the trading to women to do and just collect money from the sale Women used to be porters at the riverside but today men have taken over that role, it has rendered some of the women jobless. Women used to go fishing but now we have other alternative jobs so we longer working on canoes 1.6.1 Did you sell any fish for a lower price than usual?

Yes we sold fish for a lower price than usual .e.g; Sardine.. A big pan of 62kg of fresh sardine cost 700.00ghc.

Fish for 500ghc can be sold for 400ghc. It happens often Yes. After processing you decide which price to sell your fish but it's unfortunate we go to the market and meet cheaper prices from other processors coming from different regions who have lower prices.This compels us to sell it at a cheaper price than pr Yes. Anchovies.I was supposed to sell 4 baskets for 150 but ended up selling at 120. Yes prices do rise and fall often Yes. Assorted smoked fish meant to be sold at 330ghc was sold at 250ghc with a price difference of 80ghc A basket full of smoked bagrus meant to be sold at 120ghc was sold at 90ghc with a price difference of 30ghc A basket full of smoked assorted fish Yes. Currently in this season (high season), fish is in abundance but unfortunately at our landing beaches we do not get catch and the few weeks get are expensive so at the regional markets where other processors from other areas where fish is cheapr Yes. Glut on the market because we come from different location products we expect to sell at 300ghc is reduced to 270ghc It happens often Yes. I had to reduce the price of fish from 13cedis to 9cedis Yes. I priced my fish at 50 cedis but ended up selling at 35 cedis.

Why was this? 40 100 pieces of Chrysichthyes is sold for 300.00ghc.. Averagely 280.00ghc,glut in the market 120. There was glut in the market and so we had to reduce the price. 19ghc for a Tilapia, fish was in abundance in the market 25ghc because there was glut 270 ghc because of glut and possibility further drop in price if I hold on to the stock 3 small buckets of small sardines COST PRICE 100 ghc .The processor is supposed to sell a bucket at 60cedis each to break even but unfortunately sell at 30. We lose because the price of fresh fish is high at our landing site where assume price of process 3 trays of fish worth 1200.00ghc was was sold for 900.00ghc.making a loss of 300.00ghc 30 ghc. Glut in the market. 30ghc 100 pieces of assorted fish. Buyers were scares at market 35-40 small pelagics.,processors from different regions come with a cheaper price than ours They 're tempted to store and sell later but because of debtors they are forced to sell it cheaper than usual 35.00ghc of fish was sold for 25.00ghc..glut of fish 40.00ghc, fish was in abundance in the market 400. Glut and also some processors have access to fish from their fishermen husbands at good pricing and therefore can sell at reduced prices 50 ghc for 7kg. Glut and perishability forces us to take the low prices. Further to this we need to pay off our creditors and do not want to be in their bad books. 50. There was glut in the market and patronage was very poor. 50ghc (Herrings), because fish was in abundance in the market 7.50p for 1 frigate tuna. Patronage was very low in the market 70ghc. Fish come from different places it , so if fish bought at lower price elsewhere we can not control the price 7kg of Sardine...on the average we sell as low as 30.00ghc 80.00ghc..people brought fish from different towns so we were compelled to reduce our prices Average price of 113ghc Because of extra cost of preservation when fishes are not sold and an automatic price fall on the next market day Baraccuda, 8.00ghc averagely, fish was in abundance in the market Chrysichthyes: 10.00ghc Fish was in abundance in the market GHC 60.

There was glut in the market Ghc 100.00, fish was very abundant on the market day Ghc 2.00 for a Tilapia Zillia, fish was in abundance in the market and buyers had other options so I had to lower the price Ghc 3.00 for a chunk of Yellowfin Tuna, because fish was in excess in the market Ghc 45.00 for 5kg of anchovies, reason was that fish was broken into pieces Ghc 80.00, the reason being that buyers were not available and could not return home with the fish because of extra cost of preserving it Hydrocynus: 15.00 Tilapia: 10.00 Chrysichthyes: 2.50 or 3.00 Some of the fish were of bad quality and buyers were scarce on the market day day as well I had 400ghc for 4 papers of herrings instead of 600.00, the reason been that the fish got mashed up during loading into the truck If fish is well processed and presentable we sell for 100.00ghc averagely If price was projected at 200.00ghc we were compelled to sell at 150.00ghc.Customers were not patronising and we were forced to sell at that price to avoid waste. Price flatulence on same day. E.g. 100ghc worth of fish in the morning could be sold at 80ghc by noon. Sardine (1 pan at 450GHC).Glut in the market Sardinella Sp. 24kg priced at 1.4 Sometimes we anticipate selling a fish for at least 6.00ghc so we can pay 5.00ghc for cost price and 0.5p to cover expense and profit of 0.5p on each fish but we end up selling it cheaper Sometimes we sell for 160 Ghc or 180 ghc instead of 200ghc due to glut in the market Tilapia for 9.00ghc due to glut in the market 1.6.3 How much fish did you sell for a reduced price?

I sell everything I take to the market. I sold for 9.00ghc instead of 13.00ghc for tilapia.we normally sell processed fish at a reduced price because it can easily go bad unlike the salted ones Oyankle for 150 instead of 200... Reduced price was 25.00ghc for one large size of fish which is normally sold for 35.00ghc Tilapia: 50 pieces Bagrus: about 70 pieces Distichodus: 43 pieces We have no option but to sell off to pay the fish we bought on credit We sell less as we will make losses if we sell more We sell less when the price are reduced though the buyers would want to buy more We sell off what we have in stock and hold on We sell what we take to the market even if the price is low. Yellowfin Tuna: 54kg Yes, i could have sold more if fish was scarce in the market Yes I could sell more... I had to reduce the price because I could not return home with the fish 1.6.4 How much fish did you lose (waste)? 39 10 crates of Sardinella 15kg of Yellowfin Tuna 200 crates of Jack mackerel 230 pieces of Chrysichthyes Bagrus and Tilapia 23kg 300ghc 0f fish 30kg 32kg 4 pans of fish costing 400.00ghc.... 4 racks of Chrysichthyes and 6 racks of Gymnarchus 4000.00ghc worth of fish was burnt 500 pieces of sardinella 63kg 75 pieces of Chub Mackerel Assorted fish worth about 1000ghc Tilapia worth about 500ghc Chrysichthyes worth 200ghc Gymnarchus worth 400ghc Can't recall Can't recall,been a while Depends if fire out breaks we lose a lot and if breakages and spoilage just a little Hydrocynus about 130 pieces If fish is brought to the site fresh the probability of loosing some is very low,500pieces fresh fish u could loose only 10 pieces if you don't delay the processing time If it is fire outbreaks we lose a lot, but a little to breakages Just a little Just a small portion Less than 4kg NA None was wasted.We take to those who prepare dog meal and they pay as something small Out 5000 pieces about 200pieces go bad etc Out of expected finished out put of 98 kg about 21kg to 35 kg gets broken which is sold for animal feed Process 100 crates. 200kg of broken/fragments of fish Quantity wasted depends on the season . When the lake overflow it banks it carries rubbish which tends to affect the fish and causes it to smell before it's harvested.this type is normally used as salted fish.. Sometimes the fish is unsafe for consumption from the fisherman The fish developed bad taste and was not good for human consumption There was about 5kg of bits/ residues They don't throw fish away they process it into fermented fish Tilapia Zillia worth about 1600ghc We do not lose fish. We sell off the bad fish and broken pieces to people who produce animal feed Yes we lose fish, after three days of being in the market and still have more fish to sell we reduce the price to sell to those who can reheat . You can lose a little sometimes especially when we process much. It is difficult to keep up with attending to all the ovens at once. This does not happen often. We sell of the waste or broken off for animal meal at a lower price 1.6.5 Why did you lose/throw away fish? 38 Basically breakage depends on the quality of the fresh fish. We sell breakages as animal feed Because the fire out breaks or unattended kilns,. If we have more fresh fish than we can handle the fish goes bad Because fish developed fungus and some got broken into pieces Because of over cooking, fish got burnt during smoking, some developed worms and others were infected with fungus Because production volume was too much to handle some of the fish get burnt or it got moldy from storage Because the fish got mashed up Due to breakages Dynamite was used to harvest the fish which rendered the fish unsafe for consumption Fire outbreaks is caused by fish fats and can be unpredictable. If too dry the fish becomes brittle, if the moisture level is high Fish gets spoilt Fish got Burnt Fish got burnt and others got rotten due to parasites infections Fish got burnt and some got broken during transportation to market Fish got burnt during smoking Fish got mashed up during loading into the cargo track Fish was badly broken into pieces during transportation to market Fish was badly burnt during processing Fish was bought spoilt unknowingly from the fisherman, sometimes it breaks in the process of transporting Fish was burnt Fish was burnt Fish was smashed during transportation Fishes got burnt during smoking Glut in the market If the fish is soggy, after processing ,the fish breaks into fragments and are sold at a reduced price to poultry farmers. There are insects infestation as well If they are not well stored they could go mouldy and sometimes there is insect infestation Market was very bad and I needed money to purchase another consignment the following day NA No Spoilage of the fresh fish and Breakages and this sold for animal feed The fish was burnt so I threw them away The quality of fresh fish is bad, if storage is poor, oily fish, fire outbreaks, poor packaging during transportation. The broken pieces of processed are sold off as animal feed. Bad fresh fish is processed into fermented products There could be oil in the fish which could go rancid unknowingly during storage There was a lot of fat in the fish, storage was poorly done There was spoilage before processing and they broke into fragments We did not have a cold facility to store excess fish We do not throw fish away. Worms infestation 1.6.6 Please describe the facility where you bought your fish? Did it have a landing site or other structure? 40 At the landing beach with sheds and wash rooms.

To the market : commercial vehicles From the landing beach we usebHead porters. if from elsewhere commercial vehicles and then head porters From the landing site to the kitchen we use tricycle After processing we travel to the market using cargo trucks Head porters Trucks Tricycles Head porters and commercial transport for those who leave further away Head porters are used, push trucks, tricycles to transport from banks to our home depending on the quantity. For traders who sell at Akateng they use head porters or push trucks and commercial transport are used for distance markets Processed is conveyed by commercial vehicles to markets and fresh fish is by head porters if we buy a little but tricycle if a lot to where we process They organise themselves and use commercial taxi Those closer to the landing site gives to head porters,those far away give to tricycle or cart- Pushers .Some deliver to their customers through VIP transport, others use cargo Through Head porters Truck(aboboyaa) Delivery by bus Transport via push truck Transport via taxi Transport via boat Transportation of fish is done via the services of tricycle, wheelbarrow, truck, taxi, motorcycle and head porters for short distances and cargo trucks and taxis for longer distances Transported via boat Transported via taxi Transported via taxi services Transporting from the landing site to the processing sites is by tricycle.To the markets is by trucks Tricycle transports to road side and commercial vehicle transport it to the market Use of head porters (transporters) if small and tricycles if large quantities to transport from landing site to home and commercial vehicle to market.

Are you familiar with the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable SSF developed by the FAO? Yes/NO. If yes could you say how the SSF Guidelines are used in your work. 7 No No. Sighted document but not read it Yes Yes. To some extent in value additions , packaging and classification and certification of processing facility based on our fish management plan. Yes. We are use the rights based approaches and decision making processes to empower women in SSF. We also use Gender mainstreaming as the men are now realizing they needed to include women in their decision making. 1.2.4 Can you please tell me what the current policies there are in relation to women in SSF that you implement? * 7 Currently Co management policies which looks at bottom up approach includes women involved in SSF. Here resource users which include women inmpost harvest are in charge at managing it. The ecosystem approach which also relate to mangroves conservation Currently I am on retirement. However our main approach was to enhance knowledge on proper fish handling and processing Policy on Gender Mainstreaming Post harvest activities training for women engaged in fish processing The Fisheries management plan ended in 2019, however value additions, packaging and classification and certification of facility. The gender mainstream policy developed by FC and Child labour laws etc. We are ensuring that women shift from traditional ovens to improved ovens. Per policy we are providing certification for processing fish and ensuring that fish is processed under hygienic conditions 1.3.1 Can you please tell me what you know about the diet of the people in your area? (Common foods consumed in the community) 7 Banku with fish, acheke and fish etc basically maize and cassava based food and mostly fish is consumed. Vegetables are used to prepare sauces and soups. Banku, Ga kenkey, akple with soups and sauces prepared with mackerel, anchovies and sardinella, Banku, fufu, okra soup, palm nut soup with fish. Fresh water fish is the main protein consumed Banku, fufu, plantain, yam, rice, gari, beans, palm nut soup, garden eggs stew, koto mire, groundnut soup Gari, kenkey, cassava based food and fish. Less vegetables is consumed. Their meals are not nutritious. When there no fish most children suffer there is less to eat and when there is fish some children suffer because mothers are too busy working to prepar Kenkey with fish and pepper, Banku with fish and pepper, Rice with tomato stew and Fufu with groundnut soup Rice, banku, noodles, gari and fufu with fish fried or smoked fish in sauces or soups 1.3.2 Do you feel that fish is easily available for the people in this area? Are there some fish that are more available than others? 7 Being a coastal community, they have access to fish commonly the sardinella and chub mackerel. However they complain about the dwindling stocks so that might be affecting availability of fish for consumption. Fish is not easily available for consumption locally. The fish is proceseed and sent to marketing centres for sale. Fish tends to be more expensive here as they sell all else where than here. They consume and process fresh fish and therefore do not preser No. When the fishermen return from fishing without fish, a lot of households do not eat fish. Yes, there are. Anchovies and Herrings Yes for instance anchovies are more available than other types of fish Yes, chrysichthyes and tilapia is more available. Chrysichthyes is available all year round Yes, some fishes like sardinella , anchovies, burrito are more available Yes. Chrysichthyes and tilapia is more available 1.3.3 Of the fish that is available, where is it sourced from? (Local small-scale fishers, commercial fisheries, imported)? 7 Local fishers and IUU transhipment (saiko) Local small scale fishers They are sourced from local small scale fishers in the area Ĺocal small scale fishers and commercial fisheries (saiko). Saiko is fish caught by commercial vessels and frozen and transhipment or brought to shore 1.4.1.1 Can you tell me about the role of women in decision-making in small scale fisheries? 7 Formally women did not have voices. But training from NGOs have created awareness and empowerment so they are aware and advocate for their rights Generally, the role of women in decision making in Small Scale Fisheries is very strong. When it comes to which fish to buy they have informed and agreed with the fishermen not to sell fish caught by illegal means Men take the decisions and later inform the women. Women are not engaged strongly Most of the decisions are taken by chief fishermen and his council. Fish mummies are only consulted on issues concerning processing even this is rare. However, the wealthy women fish processors are respected or consulted because they prefinance the exped They are able to take decision on their own as to when and how to carry out activities in terms post harvest in terms of preservation and storage They dominate the post harvest sectors. The fisheries Commission involves them in decision making using the top to down approach. However, at the beach level women involvement in decision making is barely 5% Women are generally not involved in decision making. The fishermen are more dominant in numbers and vocal at meetings. Women roles are limited when it comes to SSF decision making. Now women are being involved in IUU reduction by educating them not not 1.4.2.1 Can you tell me something from your experience about small scale fisheries women access to productive assets? 7 Assets depends on the family lines. Fish processing is more of a family business. The wealthier the family the easier the access. Community facility are not too common about only 2 districts (KEEA and AAK) in the whole region have community shared proces Equal opportunities in access to asset exist but dependent on the type of assets. Women own canoes though men own more but if it comes to ovens women own most. They also have access to own buildings and cars etc. From the local government attitude it seems issues of providing facility and infrastructure for women do not receive attentions. Women suffer especially when it comes to gender sensitive infrastructure. They dont have access to Electricity , proper fish Money play a key roles. Some of the Women in Tema Zone owns canoes but they dominate in the ownership of processing assets. Productive assets are easily accessible from markets, as gifts from central government. The assets are not too expensive as compared to that of the productive assets used in fishing. Some women own inputs used for fishing but theses are quite a handful. Women finance the purchase of fishing gears for fishers however they own more assets in relation to post harvest activities. Access to land is an issue. They do not have access impr The women are engaged solely in post harvest activities and therefore acquire the assets in that sections. A few also engage in ice making ventures as a business 1.4.2.2 Are there some assets that women or men have more access to than others? 7 Fishing Inputs _ women do not own canoes and nets. They finance expedition and in return they get the fish to sell. Many women are not able to own up that they own canoes. Men have more access to fishing inputs Processing : women are more dominant in If it comes to fishing men have more assets and in post harvest women do. In certain communities women do not have direct access to the marine resources unless there is bumper and more hands are needed. In some commuities Women are limited due to their In ownership of canoes and fishing gears men own more than women. Assets that relate to post harvest activities women own more Men have more access than women especially when it comes to fishing inputs. More men own fishing gears and women own more processing assets Women have access to ovens etc and men control canoes and other fishing gears Yes. Assets used at sea are accessed a lot by fishermen (men). Assets used from the shore through to the processing site to the market are used by the women. 1.4.3.1 What extension services are provided for small scale fisheries actors (in fishing and secondary activities) that you know about? 7 Currently there is no Extension services covering this location. I have not been replaced since I went on pension two years ago Education on IUU for fishermen, fish processor; training on management, processing, alternative livelihoods . Fishermen: fisheries law and regulation sensitization done in groups or use of community centres. Conflict at sea mediation. Post harvest : in collaboration with NGOs fish handling, training in use of improved fish smoking technology like Ahontor ov Monitoring fish catch data, monitor post harvest activities, training and workshop on value additions. Training in fish processing and packaging Training of fishermen on safety at sea (use of life jackets), disadvantages of illegal methods of fishing Training processors on fish and general hygiene, Post harvest losses and good business management practices Trainings and demonstrations of new technologies 1.4.3.2 How much of this is targeted for women? 7 60% of these services are targeted at women About 20% of the training targets women Not applicable Our trainings target both genders equally based on their activities in the SSF value chain Post harvest extension targets mostly women The area dominated by women so mostly women participate 1.4.3.3 Do you know what training has been provided for women SSF, if any? 7 Fish handling and use of improved ovens , packaging Fish handling and processing . Fish handling, use of Ahontor ovens. leadership training for women groups i.e. fisheries governance and leadership training Fish hygiene, records keeping, value additions and smoking techniques Good processing activties, hygiene, afforestation (wood lots), financial management Training on financial literacy Training on the use of improved technology for smoking Training on general hygiene Training on package and fish handling and business management 1.4.4.1 Have you ever invited SSF women to speak or discuss issues that affect their livelihoods in public events or if not then have you participated in such events where SSF women are asked to speak? 7 No The Fisheries Commision (FC) facilitate such events especially in areas of IUU. These are normally open forums and anyone can speak. The meeting is male dominated but some women are confident to speak up Yes Yes at research extension linkage committee (RELC) meetings Yes my Organisation invites them to various gatherings for this purpose Yes we invited them to an event where they highlighted on their issues Yes. There is a programme called fishermen to fishermen meeting (f2f). the fisheries Commission are facilitators and the women speak up at such fora 1.5.5.1 Women should not get involved in fishing full time, this is a man’s responsibility 7 Agree Disagree Partially Agree 1.5.5.2 Women should not own canoes, fishing nets, and other means to fish 7 Disagree 1.5.5.3 Women should primarily be the ones who clean and process fish 7 Disagree Partially Agree 1.5.5.6 Women should primarily be the ones who trade or market fish, not men 7 Agree Disagree Partially Agree 1.5.5.7 Men should primarily be the ones who transport fish to a market for sale 7 Agree Disagree 1.5.5.8 Men should primarily be the ones who control the earnings/income obtained from the sale of fish 7 Disagree 1.5.5.9 Women should primarily be the ones who prepare meals (including fish) for the family 7 Disagree Partially Agree 1.5.5.10 Men should mostly be the ones who belong to fisheries clubs, organizations, or associations, not women 7 Disagree 1.5.5.11 Describe any forms of discrimination or hardships women experience in the fishing sector. 7 There are no subsidies on assets used by women in their women Hardship.The women (processors) clean and process fish in open spaces (without sheds) Respiratory tract infections as a result of smoked from the use of traditional ovens When there is bumper harvest and the men make more profit, in the long run it turns into problem for some women, because the men marry additional wives. This causes a lot of issues jn homes. Some of men over look their basic responsibility in terms provid Women are not allow to own canoes or fishing inputs. They dont have access to land to put up their kitchens. Even women who own canoes to not have direct access. They are only financiers. They do not have the freedom to determine the price of the fresh f Women are not allowed to even touch canoes, some of the fishermen do not like to engage women in discussion or listen to them Women are not allowed to go fishing. Women are not allowed to go for fishing. Though it is not a taboo men disapprove of women owning canoes . Women experience discrimination especially when they support husband in the fisheries business they do not get equitable access to the income. The women end up fighting in competing for resources such as fish 1.5.5.12 Would you like to add anything more in this regard? 6 No Women do not have access to modern equipment and work area to carry out processing and trading 1.6.1. What are the main issues you see in accessing fish? 7 Cost of the fish. It is expensive because of the depletion of fish stocks. Over fishing etc. Over capacity; more canoes being registered and less fish to catch Cost of fishing inputs too expensive The fishers need to be trained to practice l Currently there is low catch and sizes of fish caught are small, IUU is prevalent and therefore a threat to the marine resources Fish is seasonal and the availability during the lean season is major challenge as imported fish sold in the cold stores are expensive too. For women: the relationship between canoe owners determine women access to fish. Women whose husbands own canoe have access where as those whose husband are not owners are disadvantaged. Dwindling fish catch limit access. Current state limits access. Some of the Women have to travel by canoe to other locations to buy fish and canoes accidents are common on the lake. Financial constraints as they can not buy as much as they want, they do not have knowledge in ice preservation technology, there are no The processors still stay long hours in the sun and even on rainy days to wait for the fish There is high decline in fish stocks and women do not get the minimum quantity to process for the market They have arrangements with suppliers who bring them fish. You need to pass through a chain to access fish if you do not have direct suppliers , and this brings fights and confrontations 1.6.2 Do you think there is much fish loss and waste in small scale fishery value chains? And how much of a problem is this? 7 Agrees there is much loss from capture, preserve, landed, discharged ( bare ground). In processing, poor processing leads to loss and waste . For SSF 20 % of fish is lost along value chain however very little is wasted because they process bad fish by s No. The women smoke, fry and dry fish caught especially when in excess. Some have cold facilities to store excess fish. This is not a problem at all. Yes . There is IUU and fish start deteriorating before it reaches the shore. So losses start before the women get the fish. Also due to financial challenges women are given credit only when cash sales is not possible. Therefore they spend long hours try t Yes it is, a problem . However bad fish is processed into fermented fish product Yes there is huge fish loss due to lack of access to good cold storage facility at the landing beach. Also the fishermen do not follow good practises such as taking ice to sea so the fish starts deteriorating at sea before it us brought in. Yes. It is not much of a issue because the women do not like to lose fish so the take action by selling at a lower price or processing into lesser products such as salted dried fish or fermented fish Yes. There is lot of wastage when it comes to sun drying, in the raining season most of the fish is washed away into drains. Canoes landing in the evenings leads to a lot of fresh fish deteriorating and wastage as there is no cold storage facilties. Pro 1.6.3 What facilities exist for those women involved in SSF post-harvest processing that might reduce waste and loss? 7 Currently they only have their ovens which also have its limitations Government is not providing facilities to fight post harvest loss for SSF women.There is a government built fish processing factory close by but women do not access as it is being run by a private company. There are a few private cold stores and ice ma In Ekumfi district there are no cold storage facilties to preserve fish. They rely on processing using the traditional method. Ovens (metal barrels and chorkor) Smoking facilities individually and group procesing facility at Axim, Ankobra, Ekpu.Cold storage facility at shama, new Takoradi and Half Asini (Storage and ice making under PPP) There is a cold facility in the community provided by the Central government There are improved technology ovens (Ahotor) to process fish There is no facilities, like cold storage or improved ovens . They use traditional smoking methods and have limited capacity and poor dry storage facility 1.6.4 And as a following question: What are the benefits and challenges with these facilities? 7 Benefits (Cold Facility) Storage of excess fresh fish for as long as is needed Challenge (Cold Facility) Can only be accessed at a fee Benefits (Ahotor oven) High quality fish is constantly produced, reduced health effects of smoke Challenges ( Ahot COLD STORAGE It allows fish to stored and processed gradually without Waste. Challenge the location of facility may not be conduisive in terms of access. Ovens. Individual use readily and may use neighbours facility if not in use. Challenges: competin Challenge for the ovens; method is traditional therefore PAH is high, for Ahontor ovens which is an improved oven, the heat is not evenly distributed therefore processor do not use it. Benefits: the capacity of the chorkor is bigger and process faster Large quantities of fish are preserved through smoking The challenges are fire out breaks, the processing capacity is low . The few private ones provides level some of services to the women in terms of ice blocks and cold storage Though they try to use traditional smoking methods they are faced with all the challenges that are inherent in the method 1.6.5 What technologies do you know about that those women involved in SSF post-harvest processing might access that are available or could be promoted? 7 Ahontor ovens and FTT can be promoted. Cold storage and improved smoking kilns FTT ovens can be promoted and cold storage facility provided at the landing beachs and raised fish drying racks FTT smoking technology Improved ovens like FTT and Ahontor, Cold storage The fish processing technology like Ahontor and FTT. The use of Ahontor ovens or other improved ovens 1.6.7 Does your office/institution provide training for women in SSF post-harvest handling? And what is this training? 7 Not applicable Training fish handling, fish hygiene, records keeping, value additions Training on financial literacy Training on the use of improved technology for smoking Training on general hygiene Yes . Fish handling, packaging, improved ovens Yes. Fish handling and hygiene, kitchen certificate, book keeping Yes. Fish handling, use and maintenance of improved smoking technology, business development and management, leadership governance and decision making, gender mainstreaming and fisheries laws Yes. Through the post harvest unit provide training in fish handling and processing 1.7.1 Do you know if there are any local fisheries organisations for women in your area? How many? 7 There are pockets of women groups Yes . One Yes .Community level : NAFPTA, local groups in Axim,4, STMA, 2, Shama 3. Each district have NAFPTA. Yes NAFPTA and CEWEFIA Yes there are 8 local organisations and national associations like NAFPTA and NAFAG Yes. 2 Yes. 23 groups 1.7.2 Do you know anything about this organisation or organisations? Such as numbers of members, fee rates etc 7 CEWEFIA has 750 members in both western and Central region. They pay dues monthly of 2 ghc I do not have that information No Not sure Number of Members varies membership for local groups ranges from 35 to 150 members. Yes, they pay 5ghc monthly dues. About 520 women Yes.Nungua Tsienaa Fish Processors and Traders Association 80 Good Shepherd Fish Processors and traders Association 50 1.7.3 What are the benefits that might be derived from these organisations? 7 AXIM : They support each other financially, organise fish from other places eg Cote d' ivorie. They are able to influence certain decisions that directly related to their activities with strong leadership. Access to inputs which leadership organise. It helps to access technology and training Knowledge sharing and training The women are able to speak against issues related to fishery activities collectively For fisheries extension purposes, we are able to reach a lot of members at a time They provide social welfare and benefits, secured bank loans for the group, voice issues or concerns to the authorities Trainings and facilitate access to loans from the banks Voice to channel their grievance, control of IUU 1.7.4 Do you know if any women representatives from these organisations have attended local government meetings? Did the women representatives participate or speak in the meeting? 7 A few have attended meeting like the drafting of marine fisheries plans. She did spoke in the meeting No They participate but do not speak Yes . Lake management committee meeting. She spoke Yes. Yes. They speak at such gatherings Yes.They Participate in Town Hall meetings and local government meetings and she spoke and have member in the TMA sub committee on agriculture 1.7.5 Can you recall when this was? How long ago? 7 KEEA in March 2020 and town hall meetings Ministry of information organised a meeting for stakeholders on Achievement in the fisheries sector by successive governments. 3 months ago No October 2019 at the Ekumfi District Assembly Six months ago Two months ago the TMA agricultural committee meeting in September 2020 1.7.6 What was the main reason for such as meeting? E.g. Environmental (reduction of fish?), Market access?, quality of facilities at market? Prices and fees of market stalls/facilities 7 Comparing achievements in relations to availability of facilities, livelihood improvements Environmental issues such as , cleaning of the landing sites and community Not applicable The meeting discusses agriculture or fisheries related issues and where there is the need a report is written to the authorities for address To formulate a marine fisheries management plan To solicit for ideas to improve the livelihood of fish processors Town hall meeting. Busac meeting on survey on Ahontor ovens. 1.7.7 Do you think such organisations help increase their voice and your knowledge of what the problems are in dealing with issues in post-harvest handling, processing and selling fish? 7 The idea would be helpful but the situation on the ground is different. The organisation are not strong or capable enough to solve these issues. Yes Yes it is key Yes. 1.8.1 How do you learn more about SSF in your area or region on issues such as sourcing/buying fish? 7 I learned from the women I work in the community and in constant touch with the processors so I get information directly from them Interviewing the fish monger and data collection There are fisheries officers on the coast who provide data and information and I also visit for first hand information Through observation, interaction with women groups and fishers, existing or previous data among others Visiting the landing sites We speak to the fishermen and processors and we are approached by the processors. We also listen to them and observe the market trend 1.8.2 What in particular did you find most useful? What do you learn? 7 By listening and observing I am always abreast issues on the ground I learnt of the type of fish and when they are in seasons and their prices and how fish is traded and marketed It gives more information to deal with issues in terms of dealing or relating with the Fisher folks It helps me to collect data to report on. I am able provide pricing information Local knowledge about fisheries management, indigenous knowledge such as non fishing days, ban on light fishing by chief fishermen or traditional authority The fact that fish they get is not sufficient to process The fact that getting fish in the neighbourhood is cheaper than travelling long distances to get fish The fish mummies in consultation with the fishers are to fix the price but it is expected that with empowerment they should be bargain based on the market. But this does not happen they go along with fishers price and are only interested in their margin 1.8.3 How does one learn to access and use new technologies? Can extension services help? 7 Extension officers visit their processing sites to introduce and use new technologies. Normally through invitation by NGOs and projects. Extension services can enhance this Technology can access through dessimination and training. Extension services will be helpful to dessiminate and provide access There is a need for an extension services to link up the processors to the appropriate quarters Through demonstrations by inviting leaders and the leaders also transfer the knowledge to members. Extension services can help Through training, group discussion and demonstrations. Yes extension services can help Yes . Extension services can help as a conduit for women groups to provide information on how to access technology like Ahontor etc 1.8.4 Do you know of any special training from projects or government institutions available? (please specify) 7 Business advisory services at the District Assembly gives training in alternative livelihoods . CEWEFIA also runs livelihoods empowerment programs NO No 1.8.5 Did you have any training on the SSF Guidelines for example? 7 No Yes 1.8.6 What other specific training would be helpful for you? 7 Fish processing techniques Leadership training, communication No Post harvest SSF guidelines ToT in Hacccp and to conduct in depth research and training in policies analysis Training on proper fish handling Training on the improved technology for processing Training on gender related issues 1.8.7 Have you participated in local, regional or international workshops/seminars/ subject meetings in SSF? 7 No Yes 7 124683824 125592088 127856386 129387428 130779597 133837372 135394148 Country 46 Ghana Region 46 Central Eastern Greater Accra Oti Volta Western District 40 AAK Biakoye Ekumfi KEEA Krowor Nzema East Sekondi - Takoradi Metropolitan Assembly Shama South Dayi TMA Upper Manya Positions of group members present 46 Chair person Other executive committee members Regular group member Chair person Secretary Chair person Secretary Regular group member Chair person Secretary Treasurer Other executive committee members Regular group member Regular group member Other executive committee members Regular group member Secretary Treasurer Regular group member Treasurer Other executive committee members Secretary Secretary Other executive committee members Secretary Other executive committee members Regular group member Secretary Regular group member Secretary Regular group member Chair person Secretary Regular group member Other executive committee members Secretary Treasurer Secretary Treasurer Other executive committee members Secretary Treasurer Regular group member Secretary Treasurer Regular group member Chair person Secretary Vice chair Regular group member Treasurer Other executive committee members Regular group member Treasurer Regular group member Vice chair Treasurer Secretary Other executive committee members Treasurer Secretary Regular group member Vice chair Other executive committee members Vice chair Regular group member Other executive committee members Positions of group members present/Chair person 46 1 No 2 Yes Positions of group members present/Vice chair 46 1 No 2 Yes Positions of group members present/Secretary 46 1 No 2 Yes Positions of group members present/Treasurer 46 1 No 2 Yes Positions of group members present/Other executive committee members 46 1 No 2 Yes Positions of group members present/Regular group member 46 1 No 2 Yes Type of water body where fishery-related activities occur. 46 Coastal lagoon or estuary Coastal lagoon or estuary Marine coastal zone Coastal lagoon or estuary River Marine coastal zone Freshwater lake Freshwater lake River Marine coastal zone Marine coastal zone River River Marine coastal zone Other Type of water body where fishery-related activities occur./Freshwater lake 46 1 No 2 Yes Type of water body where fishery-related activities occur./River 46 1 No 2 Yes Type of water body where fishery-related activities occur./Coastal lagoon or estuary 46 1 No 2 Yes Type of water body where fishery-related activities occur./Marine coastal zone 46 1 No 2 Yes Type of water body where fishery-related activities occur./Other 46 1 No 2 Yes Specify what other type of water body 1 Ponds What is the scale of your organization (i.e., where are your members coming from)?

Why would this be the case? 173 Around this time fish is scarce and you need more money to buy fish due to increase in prices Availability and expensive Because catch is low and fish is not available. Because fish is not available Because fish is not available due to low catch Because it is expensive Because it is not in season and therefore expensive Because it is the dry season and fishes hide in the river bed Because it is the dry season and the Lake is dried up Because it is the raining season and fishers can not go to sea Because limited availability and no money to buy Because of high water levels of the lake Because of scarcity High pricing Because of scarcity in the lean season Because of scarcity of fish Fish too expensive Because of the raining season there is less fishing activities and less catch Because of times and seasons Because the catch is low Because the fish is hiding in the mud and fishermen can not catch them Because the fishermen do not bring back enough fish Because the fishermen do not catch much Because the fishermen do not catch much or go fishing Because the fishermen do not get fish Because the fishermen do not go to sea Because the fishers are not able to catch fish Because the lake is very cold the fish hide in the river bed and therefore difficult to catch Because there is no catch Because they do not catch much Because they don't go to sea often and therefore availability is an issue Because we consume a portion of what we buy to sell. It becomes difficult to buy from others when it is expensive on cash basis Cost of fish too high and scarcity During the lean season most atimes Expensive and I don't have enough money Fish becomes scarce during the raining season Fish becomes expensive Fish becomes scarce in that period Fish becomes too expensive Fish is expensive Fish is expensive around this time Fish is not available Fish is too expensive Fish is not available in the market Fish is too expensive Fish is not available in the market Fish too expensive Fish is not in season and catch is low Fish is not too available Fish is out of season Fish is scarce Fish is scarce and expensive Fish is scarce and expensive around this time Fish is scarce and expensive around this time. Illegal fishermen also brings fish that isn't safe for consumption Fish is scarce and fishermen do not get enough catch Fish is scarce and very expensive Fish is scarce around this time Fish is scarce around this time because fishermen don't get enough catch Fish is scarce at this time Fish is scarce so fishermen do not get enough catch Fish is very expensive Fish is very expensive and scarce Fish is very expensive around this time Fish is very expensive at this time Fish is very scarce and expensive around this time Fish is very scarce at this time Fish not available Fish too expensive Fish too expensive Fish too expensive Fish is of poor quality Fish too expensive Fish not available Fish too expensive Fish not available Fish is of poor quality Fish too expensive Scarcity of fish Fishermen do not get enough catch Fishermen do not get enough catch around tnis time , the few they get is over priced Fishermen do not get enough fish around this time Fishermen do not go fishing around this time,so we buy from Tema harbour which is expensive Fishermen who goes fishing do not bring fish home Fishers do not catch much High pricing Scarcity of fish In that period Fish is very expensive In that period Fish becomes very scarce It is a cycle where fisherman do not get fish , therefore prices are high It is expensive It is expensive and our fishers do not go to sea Lack of money Low catch Price Increases Scarcity Scarcity and lack of funds Scarcity of Fish Scarcity of Fish during those selected seasons Scarcity of fish Scarcity of fish Fish is expensive Scarcity of fish Fish too expensive Scarcity of fish Too expensive Fish not safe for consumptions Scarcity of fish Fish too expensive Scarcity of fish during May and June Scarcity of fish on market. The catch is low and therefore expensive The fishermen do not catch much The fishermen are not able to catch fish The fishermen do not go fishing (low season) The fishers do not get fish The tree stumps in the lake have been removed therefore the fish no longer have places to spurn The water levels are high and therefore not safe for fishers so there is little fish activities leading to scarcity There are no catch There is high tide so the fishermen can not go out to fish There is no fish because the fishermen do not got to sea. There is scarcity therefore it becomes very expensive They do not catch fish They do not catch much fish They do not catch much fish therefore there is scarcity They do not fish during full moons This is because of the light fishing( illegal fishing methods) the fishermen do not return with fish for me to feed the house hold whiles I sell most of them too Unavailability of fish Very expensive When Volta Lake overflows its banks and fishermen do not get fish to buy. The few fish caught is also expensive When fish is expensive When fish is expensive Fish is scares Lack of funds When fish is expensive and not available When fish is expensive and not of good quality When fish is not available in the market When fish is out of season When fish is out of season and expensive When fish is scares When fish is scares and out of season When fish is scares or out of season When is too expensive When it is full moon the fishers do not get fish When the Lake overflow it banks When the fishermen catch less fish the prices go high When the moon is full we do not get fish and also when the water level of the lake rises When we are in the dry season it is difficult to get fish because the water level of the lake is low scarcity of fish 1.5.6 How many days per week do you (yourself) eat fish? 122 4 5 6 7 1.5.6 How many days per week do you (yourself) eat fish?/1 122 174 1 No 2 Yes Sysmiss 1.5.6 How many days per week do you (yourself) eat fish?/2 122 174 1 No 2 Yes Sysmiss 1.5.6 How many days per week do you (yourself) eat fish?/3 122 174 1 No 2 Yes Sysmiss 1.5.6 How many days per week do you (yourself) eat fish?/4 122 174 1 No 2 Yes Sysmiss 1.5.6 How many days per week do you (yourself) eat fish?/5 122 174 1 No 2 Yes Sysmiss 1.5.6 How many days per week do you (yourself) eat fish?/6 122 174 1 No 2 Yes Sysmiss 1.5.6 How many days per week do you (yourself) eat fish?/7 122 174 1 No 2 Yes Sysmiss 1.5.6 How many days per week do you (yourself) eat fish?/Don’t eat 122 174 1 No 2 Yes Sysmiss 1.5.7 How many days per week does your family eat fish? 296 Five Four Once Seven Six Three 1.5.8 How much fish does your household consume each day?

Example answer: ‘imported fish is only fish available’ 277 Alternative sources allows me to have multiple sources. I buy from the Cold store when there is no fish at the landing site Assured fresh fish at landing site and at cold store when fish is out of season Assured of its freshness Only source available and closer to place of abode Assured of quality fresh fish Only source known Assured to get fresh fish from landing site and willalso get some on credit Good and quality fish from Cold store At shama landing site your are served if your are affiliated or have a Relationship with a canoe. We buy from Sekondi where we are served if we have cash to buy. At the landing site because of its freshness At the Cold store when there scarcity of fish at the landing site At the lean season, imported fish is the only available sources while in the peak season, locally caught becomes available and my husband brings some for processing Based on the pricing and availability and variety Because I can get good supply and that is the only source of fish Because that is purely main source Because I am assured of fresh fish Because I get regular supply from these sources Because I have a Relationship with fishers and when there is no fish I buy from cold store Because I need constant supply so I buy from the different sources based on availability Because I need fish I buy at the different sources to ensure constant supply Because I need fresh fish to fry for quality product Because I need to buy more fish that I can get in my locality and I have suppliers there Because I want all year supply Because I want constant and reasonable priced fish Because I want constant supply Because I want good fish Because I want good suppliers Because it is the only place you can get fish Because locally caught by small-scale fishermen is only available source Because locally caught small scale-fisheries is only available source Because my suppliers are available here Because of its freshness Because of proximity Because that is our only source Because that is the only source for fresh fish Because that is where we get our fish from Because the supply is not consistent so I source from all these sources Because we are limited to buying from the local fishers because the market where I sell my wares demand I process only fresh fish Because we have business relationship Buying at this source is cost effective in terms of transportation cost Buys and sell processed fish Because I need constant supply Buys processed fish from local processors overbank because it is a direct source and reasonable in pricing Customers prefer processed fish from this source than frozen Due to its freshness from the river and demand on the market During the high season, fish is in abundance and always freshly harvested Elmina landing site(fish is always available ) because we do not get fish often at the Moree landing site Cold store when fish is scares Fish from community landing site is the only source known Fish from the cold storage has been salted but that from my source is in its natural state without salting Fish from this source is always fresh Fish harvested always comes freshly caught Fish is always available Fish is available at all times though expensive sometimes Fisher is my husband Fish is most at times guaranteed of its freshness For proximity my first option is the landing beach which is close, I buy from Tema and cold stores when we can not get fish For variety of fishes sake, I sort from both landing site and coldstore I always fresh fish and the freshwater lake is close to my community I always get freshly harvested fish from the sea I am assured of supply I am familiar with only sourcing from local fishermen because that is my expertise I am used to the drag net fish caught in my locality, however based on the market i buy from the other sources I buy fresh fish from other parts of the country to sell at the fresh fish (tilapia) market in Accra. I buy from my local for processing and fresh sales I buy fresh from local fishermen and from cold store when fish is not available I buy from different sources based on availability and to get variety I do not have enough money to travel elsewhere to purchase fish so I buy here I do so because I want reliable supply I have a business relationship with the fishermen at the landing site I have a variety of sale points to choose from, Saiko, local fishermen and imported I prefer this source because fish is always fresh I sell fresh fish at my landing site and buy tuna and chub mackerel from the other sources first processing I sell small pelagics and that's the only place I can get to buy I source from these different places because I want to have constant supply I source from these places based on availability If there is no fish locally we have no option but to buy from Tema or Takoradi Imported fish is only available source in the low season Locally caught fish is fresh and taste good Imported fish is where i can get the type of fish i want to sell from and its readily available In the main season, locally caught is the available option In the lean season, imported fish is only available source It is close to my neighborhood It is readily available and close to the community where I live It is reasonably priced than cold store.

Because I don't have enough money to buy at the process being offered Because I have a standing arrangement with fishers I must buy what ever they bring Because I have other engagements and can not process Because I need to fish Because I need to maintain relationship with my suppliers Because I owe the fisherman Because I want to maintain my suppliers Because I want to maintain the relationship with my suppliers I buy every time Because I'm not interested in the type of fish landed Because I'm tired Because I'm tired and need a rest Because fish is expensive Because fish is expensive and not profitable if I but to sell Because fish is not available Because fish is not available and expensive Because fish was not available at my landing site and I don't feel like traveling far to purchase some Because if I don't buy from it will not be supplied at a different time Because if the price is high I can bargain and if the fish is bad I process into fermented fish Because it is expensive Because it is expensive and I will not make any profit Because it is expensive and not profitable to process and sell Because my supplier fisherman does not have fish Because my suppliers did not bring fish Because of poor quality fish Because of scarcity of fish Because of scarcity of fish, especially in the low season Because the fish is expensive and I don't have enough money Because the fish is too expensive Because the price was too high or the quality bad Because there is no fish Because there was no fish Because was not readily available at the landing site Because fish available is too expensive Because fisher was demanding 90% upfront payment Because we are obligated to buy whether we like it or not. During the high season fish is abundance and customers are hard to find since in most cases there is glut in the market During the low season fish is expensive and I am unable to sell to make profit Fish is too expensive Fish not available Fish not available Fish not available Fish is of bad quality Fish not available in market Fish too expensive Fish too bad for consumptions Fish too expensive Fish too expensive Fish is of poor quality Fish too expensive Fish is of poor quality Scarcity of fish Fish too expensive Scarcity of fish Fish too expensive Scarcity of fish Fish is of poor quality Fish too expensive Scarcity of fish Fish is of poor quality I always buy once my people return from sea I always have request to supply I buy fish all the time I buy fish always I buy fish always except Sundays I don't want to break the cycle of supply to my clients and I also need the money to take care of children I get exhausted and needs a rest I have a lot of suppliers who bring me fish so I get fish all the time I have to maintain relationship with my suppliers I have to make a living and on other occasions I can not turn away the fishermen who supply me even if it is not favourable I have to process to be able to take care of my household I need to keep my business relationship with my suppliers I need to maintain relationship between my suppliers so I am forced to buy even when the prices are not good I need to work in order to take care of my household I normally don't buy fish on Sundays I normally go to church on Sundays so I don't process on that day I only deal with seven specific canoes.So if they do not have catch we don't buy from anyone If I can not get a place to store or preserve fish when I can not immediately process If I don't get from the Fresh water lake I resort to fish farms If I don't have money I don't buy fish If I have a lot of baskets of processed fish I have not sold out I would not buy fish If I refuse to take the supply, they will not sell fish to me when I am in need If cost price of fish is too expensive If customers I have credited have not paid back I decide not to buy fish If don't buy fish to sell, it will be very difficult to feed the household If fish is expensive and I will not get profit If i don't buy fish for one day, feeding the household will be a problem for me If i don't take fish from her in a day it will go against me, the next time i need some i might not be given, so i always smoke fish when they bring some If i refuse to take an expensive fish for a particular time, i will not be given any consignment when the cheaper one comes and that will go against my income generation If the cost price is too high I do not buy If the previous stock I smoke has not been sold I will not go for more fish If there is no catch, I don't buy fish If there is rise and fall in prices In case the quality is poor we sell to fermentation processor.

However for dermesal and medium to large pelagic we can put into cold storage Because fish buyers were scarce on the market day, and I will have to sell in order to be able to purchase another for the next market day Because fish got spoilt(mashed) on route to the market Because fish was available in the market Because fish was available in the market and buyers had other options to choose from so you had to reduce to get your capital Because fish was in excess in the market Because fish was in excess in the market Because fish was of poor quality, that's broken into piece Because fish was in excess in the market and buyers had different options so i had to reduce to sell Because fish got meshed up into powder during loading into cargo truck Because fish was in excess in the market and buyers had other options to choose from Because fish was very abundant in the market that day Because fried fish is perishable and there is glut on the market Because i could not bear to pay another transportation cost on that same fish, spend extra on preservation to prevent spoilage, and finally i needed money to purchase another consignment for the next market day Because i wasn't getting early market for fish so i had to reduce the price to avoid spoilage and further cost of preservation Because of extra cost of preservation when i bring it back home Because of glut Because of glut at the market Because other traders brought fish at a much cheaper price than mine Because the market is slow and there is no demand Because the person is a customer I do business with Because there are only a few buyers and more goods Because there is glut in the market, or there is low demand because buyers did not come the market, or I need to pay my creditors, also fried fish is highly perishable so I Can't to store for a longer period Because there is glut Because there is glut and I need to pay off my supplier Because there is glut and I need to restock Because we needed money to buy premix fuel for fishing the following day Bluefin Tuna: because buyers didn't come to market on that day Sardinella: because it was getting spoilt Cassava fish: because it was getting late Bumper harvest Bumper harvest for fish Business has dwindled due to the COVID, and sometines other vendors brings it cheaper so we reduce it to sell faster Buyers were not available in the market Buyers were not available on the day of market Buyers were not available on the market day Buyers were not willing to buy at the price I mentioned so I had to lower the price to be able to get some money home Buyers were scarce in the market, those present too were not willing to pay what i was asking for, hence i lowered the price in order to get some money to repay my creditor Chrysichthyes...1 for 2.00ghc Customers keep asking for a reduction Customers keep asking for reduction Depends on the availability of fish for that day. If fish is in a abundance you have no choice than to sell at a lower price Lack of proper storage facilities at home so you have to sell at low price to avoid fish getting spoilt Different processors brings fish at a cheaper price Different sellers brought theirs at a cheaper price so I had to reduce mine as well Due to the out break of the Covid-19 pandemic buyers didn't come to market on that day and the few that came were not willing to buy at my asking price During the low season I seldom sell at a low price Fish Processors come from different towns with a cheaper price hence the need to reduce the price Fish almost spoiling Fish in abundance Fish buyers were scarce in the market Fish is in a abundance and will go bad if not sold on time Fish is in abundance Fish is in season hence, price reduces automatically Fish is in season so I reduce my price to sell faster Fish quality had reduced and since there was glut on the market the previous market day Fish traders were scarce in the market and I need money to pay my creditors Fish was about to get spoilt so i had to sell at a low price to avoid total lost or extra cost of preservation Fish was abundance Fish was in abundance Fish was in abundance and buyers had other cheaper options so i had to lower my asking price Fish was in abundance in the market Fish was in abundance in the market and buyers had more cheaper options to choose from, so i had to reduce my asking price in order to get some money Fish was in excess at the market Fish was in excess in the market Fish was in excess in the market and I had to lower the price in order to get some money to settle my creditors Fish was in excess in the market and buyers had other cheaper options to choose from, since i bought mine a little higher their pricing affects my sales so i had to lower the price in order to avoid further cost of preservation Fish was in excess in the market, and buyers had other options to choose from Fish was mashed up badly and could not be preserved for long Fish was not weighed fairly as it should have been, the scale was imbalanced so the quantity of fish reduced Fish was of bad quality Fish(Lates) was of poor quality From experience Because of glut. Respondent have not be processing much for the past 3 yrs and therefore did not provide answer for price per kg General customer apathy because of COVID 19 Glut Glut and quality Glut at the landing site Glut in the market Glut of fish Glut or low patronage Glut season for fish Herrings: Buyers were scarce in the market and bringing the fish back home will mean extra transport cost, extra cost of preservation and it may even be damaged so i had to sell High season: there is glut.low season: there is no fish so customers are forced to buy I cannot return home with my fish unsold I could not return home without money to take care of my family I had to lower the price because of extra cost of preservation if i bring it home I had to reheat and this shrinks the size of the fish I had to sell at a low price because if i don't the fish might develop fungus by the next market day because of the oil content, and again i had to pay the fisher who credited me the fish I had to sell at a low price to get money because I can't not bear extra cost of preservation, and I also have to pay my creditors Bluefin Tuna Bonito fish I need to satisfy some of my customers I needed cash to pay my child's school fees in that week, so I had to settle for what buyers were offering I needed money to pay my creditor in order to get another consignment from her for the next market day I reduce to sell only when there's abundance of fish but also not to really loose all my profit I sold at a low price because fish was available in the market and buyers had other options to choose from I sold for a low price because fish was in abundance (glut in the market) If market is competitive and my prices are high I'm forced to decrease them It was bumper harvest for fish so I had to reduce the price Just to make sure the rest of fish is not taken back home. Reason being that people turn to steal from storage room at the market Low patronage My loyal customers who travel far distances to buy my fish My regular fishermen I do business with arrived later than usual and my customers I supply with fish had resorted to other mongers so was forced to reduce the price to avoid sending my products home NA Oil fish....No ready market for fish as lower prices were given by competitors Other processors brought fish at a cheaper price so I had to reduce my price Other traders who bought their fish at a cheaper price sells at a low price which in turn influence the buyers to pay low for mine Patronage is low or during raining season when can not sell much, glut Sardine :No ready market for fish as people come from different regions with lower prices Sardine.... Because people from different fishing towns have also come to sell at a lower price so automatically you have to sell at a lower price Sardine.....bumper harvest for fish so the price reduced Sardinella (fish is in abundance) Red fish (fish in abundance) Mackerel Scad (fish in abundance ) Sardinella from 400ghc to 260ghc Shrinkage of fish if too dry, market dynamics in terms of glut. Since it is fresh fish I do not have a means of keeping it frozen it could go bad do I had to sell for a low price Sometimes the market is not so good and you will be forced to reduce the price The buyer was unable to meet my original asking price and i had to settle with what she offered The customers were complaining it was too expensive The fish was spoilt The fish was too expensive for the customers The was glut in the market There is a glut and other alternative delicacies (mushrooms and snails) are in season when the fish is also in season so patronage of smoked fish is low There is glut There is glut and we need to pay off our debtors There is glut in the market There is glut in the market and prices have gone down There is glut in the market. Or fall in price of fresh fish There is glut on the market There is glut. More supply than demand There is low demand There was a bumper harvest and customers were not giving good prices There was glut in the market There was glut in the market I gave my customer good prices There was glut in the market I could not return home with my fishery products There was glut in the market and high competition among traders There was glut in the market and I did not want to lose so opted to bring them home and reheat for the next market with the hope to get good prices There was glut in the market and customer loyalty There was glut in the market and other whole sale traders were selling at a low price There was glut in the market. I had to exhibit good customer service to my clients There was glut of fish There was glut on the market There was no source of cold facility to keep the unsold fresh fish so had to sell for a low price There were alot of other processors with same produce and to avoid spoilage I had to sell it cheaper This is as a result of glut in the market Though there is a glut i sell Because I do not have capital to hold processed fish and I need money to pay off creditors. To avoid fish from bad before the next market day and lack of proper storage facilities To avoid fish from going bad at the end of the day due to lack of proper storage system To avoid further slash down of price of fish the next market day which usually happens To avoid spoilage To avoid spoilage at the end of the day because of lack of good storage facility To avoid spoilage of fish To avoid taking it back home To prevent fish from going bad and fish is in abundance Tuna(1 large).......fish was in season and different sellers came with cheaper prices Tuna...Other sellers from different places brought to market cheaper prices When fish is in abundance When fish is in abundance Have no room to store excess when not sold When fish is in abundance and because I do not have storage space to store excess fish When fish is in abundance and there's competition in market When fish is in abundance at the market and price might fall further if not sold early When it's bumper harvest for fish When market isn't booming When market is not good and in need of money When market is slow with little or no demand When market isn't booming(slow market) When other processors from different regions come and sell at a cheaper price When the demand is low When the expected customers who are from the hinterlands do not come we are compelled to sell off to other coastal buyers who do not pay premium. When the market is bad(low patronage and lack of storage facility to store excess fish) When the market is slow and fish is in abundance When there is glut When there is no readily market for the fish am selling I reduce the price to get people to buy it When there's completion in market for reduced prices due to abundance of fish When money loaned to me by creditor needs to be paid Will not sell for low price, will rather keep and sell later 1.8.6 How much fish did you lose (waste)? 240 .20kg .50kg for 1 basin 1 basin(29kg) 1 basket of fish worth 80.00ghc 1 kg 1 medium size basket worth 100.00gh 1 tray of salted fish worth 500.00ghc 1.4 kg 1.5 kg of 7kg bucket of fragments 10 10 big pieces 10 cartons 10 counts 10 crates of Long finned Herring worth 500ghc 10 kg 10 trays of Fish 1000kg 1000pieces of sardine 100g 10counts 12kg 130 pieces of Tilapia 140kg 14kg 14kg Sardinella 14kg worth of sardinella got burnt 160kg of Tilapia Zilli and Chrysichthyes Sp 168kg of Herrings and Africa moonfish 1kg 1kg of fragments 2 2 basins 2 basins(92kg) 2 cartons of fresh fish 2 kg 2 kg can go bad.

Yellowfin Tuna: 44kg 1.8.7 Why did you lose/throw away fish? 232 At times we can not control the flames Bad quality fish breaks easily and I give it out in gratis Because I did not want to sell at low price and the fish went bad. Because I had more fish than I could handle or prepare for drying Because I have limited capacity my fish deteriorates and therefore some of my fish breaks and I sell the broken at discount Because I was not able to sell and the shelf life is short Because different fish species were in abundance in the market and moreover that particular fish(small Frigate Tuna) does not attract good pricing when there's Anchovy or Sardinella Sp in the market Because fish got spoilt(mashed) on route to the market Because fish is oily Because fish was available in the market and i need to reduce to clear so i can pay my creditors in order to get some fish for the next market day Because fish was bad. . We ferment the bad fish and sell Because fish was of poor quality Because fish was poorly packed during transportation to market. I sell the broken fish at a discount Because it contains a lot of fat, it spoils fast when transporting takes a longer time than usual. Because it did not dry welln (high moisture content), or processed bad fish Because it got moldy and took long time to sell due to glut Because it is not edible and moldy Because it was more than I could handle Because of the rains disrupts our activities and this can lead to our fresh fish deteriorating Because the fresh fish was bad Because the from one gish was bad before it was frozen Because the moisture level is high Because the quality of the fresh fish is bad. We do not throw away but sell at a discount Because the quality was poor Because there are no buyers nor cold storage facility Because we have more than we can hurriedly process and lack cold storage facility Bluefin Tuna: Market was not fruitful that day, fish was in excess that day Sardinella: The fish was not properly handled during loading into bus Bluefin Tuna: got mashed up during loading into vehicle Sardinella Sp: it got burnt during processing Breakages from handling during processing Breakages From transporting Breakages due to poor stacking during transportation. We discount and sell or sell for animal feed Broken into pieces Spoilage Burnt Bumper harvest Bumper harvest for fish Burnt fish Buyers did not come to market on that day to purchase fish products Car got spoilt on the road for three days causing fish to detiorate at a faster rate Customers will not buy Didn't get taxi early to transport fish to my processing site and there was no ice to preserve it Due to burns and Breakages During processing fish got partly burnt and this affected its pricing During processing, fish was not handled well and they broke into fragments During transport on the lake, the fish took a longer than usual time to reach the community. During transport on the sea to the shore, it took longer than usual and so resulted in some spoilage During transportation to the market fish was not properly arranged Fish caught had started going bad during transport on the lake and after processing I noticed most of the fish could not be sold During transportation on the Volta Lake, the fish was not well positioned and had to break into fragments During transportation to the market the driver did not arrange the fish properly and upon arrival at the market During transportation to the market the fish was no properly arranged and had to break into fragments During transportation to the market the fish was not properly arranged and they broke into fragments During transportation when fish is not properly arranged it breaks into fragments Excessive heat destroyed the quality of fish over a long period of time that was kept in the basket and some also got burnt during smoking Fish Processors from different towns brought fish and sold it cheaper Fish developed fungus Fish developed fungus and parasites Fish developed fungus and worms Fish developed parasites Fish got badly damaged during transportation to market Fish got broken into pieces Fish got broken into pieces during processing Fish got burn Fish got broken Fish developed parasites Fish got burnt Fish got burnt because of over cooking Fish got burnt during smoking Fish got burnt very badly Fish got burnt whiles processing Fish got burnt whiles smoking Fish got damaged during transportation Fish got meshed up into powder Fish got rotten due to excess heat accumulation Fish got spoilt Fish got spoilt before the canoe landed Fish had started giving off a bad smell Fish had started going bad before processing Broke into fragments during transportation of partly smoked fish from other communities to my community Fish had started going bad during transportation on the lake During transportation to the market, the fish was not properly arranged and they broke into fragments Fish unsafe for eating Fish was already spoilt from the harbour Fish was available in the market Fish was badly damage during loading to the market Fish was broken into pieces Fish was burnt Fish was caught illegally using dynamite so it went bad Fish was in excess in the market Fish was of bad quality Fish was of bad quality because of lack of preservation with ice Fish was of bad quality, it developed certain parasites Fish was of poor quality because it was going bad before smoking and again fish was in excess in the market and buyers had other options Fish was spoilt due to inadequate processing equipment Fish was unsafe to eat Fish was unsafe to sell Fish was very much in abundance in the market Fish wasn't fresh when they sold to me so it got spoilt Fish wasn't well smoked Fish went bad as a result of power cut Fishes got totally burnt Glut at the landing site Glut of fish Handling during processing I bought more than enough because fish was in abundance but I also did not have a storage facility I did not lose fish I did not process the fish early enough I don't throw away but sell to women who prepare fish powder I don't throw away fish.i use it for shito I don't throw fish way. I still sell to customers who prepare fish powder for shito I never throw fish away.I prefer to give them out on credit I overly fried the fish on oil and it had become excessively crispy and bits of residues broke off I put it to prepare shitor (Peper sauce) for consumption or sale I reduce prices to sell off If fish is too oily/ soggy it breaks after smoking It got burnt It had maggots in them the next day since customers did not buy It took a long time to transport on the Lake to my kitchen It was burnt and became unwholesome for consumption It wasn't bought on time NA NA....

The fish broke into fragments because of bad transporting to the market The fish broke into pieces The fish got burnt The fish got mashed up during loading into the vehicle The fish had started going bad The fish had started going bad before I bought them fresh The fish had started going bad before processing The fish had started going bad during transport on the lake before I processed The fish had started going bad during transportation on the lake before I processed The fish had stayed longer than usual during transport on the lake The fish was going bad and the fisherman sold to me The fish was harvested using illegal chemicals at sea The fist got burnt during processing The fresh fish had started going bad during transport at sea before reaching I the trader The prices where high and I had to wait a while. Also the fish was oily and I sold at reduced prices on credit to processors. They refused to pay me because they unable to process and sell. The processor I bought from did not process the fish well The quality of fish from the landing site is sometimes poor and this affects quality of processed fish The taste had changed by the next market day There was a lot of fat in the fish during smoking There was excess fish in the market at cheaper price than mine, and i could not bring it back home because of extra cost of preservation so i had to sell There was glut in the market There were fragments because of the time of day( sun was up) I processed the fish There were maggots in the fish These are due poor judgement when turning fish over during processing. The fish disintegrates They break because fish is oily , we do not throw away but sell at low prices They break because of poor handling by fisherman at sea They had started going bad during water transport to my community. Tilapia got infected with worms or parasites Chrysichthyes got partially burnt Too much air went into it and it contributed to its spoilage Was unsafe for consumption We don't throw away but ferment them We don't throw away fish.they are fermented We don't waste fish. We sell to poultry farmers when they become mouldy We resell to poultry farmers We use the bad fish for fermented products When I got home I opened the box and realised the fish was not in a good condition,I returned it back but the seller refused to accept it When fish is oily it breaks easily When fish is too oily it breaks easily however I feed my chicken with it When moisture content is high When the fish is oily it breaks easily or gets moldy. I sell off as animal feed When they came from sea I left the fish in a neighbour's freezer, I later went for the fish and it was unsafe to sell due to poor quality of the fresh fish or lack of cold storage the fish starts deteriorating before we can process.

The result may be reduced catch, more competition to buy fish, non-local fishing people in your area etc 294 Increase prices Other Try to buy more fish to avoid shortage Try to process fish to increase preservation 1.8.20 How have these changes impacted on your business? 291 Able to sell during the lean season Always have fish available to sell Always have fish available to sell when fish is especially out of season Am not able to buy more fish to process which reduces my profit Be able to sell for profit when fish is out of season Because of inactivity of processing, my business goes down Because of the risk of some leftover fish which are not sold I have decided to process them and sell Because there's no fish to process my source of income has reduced very low Been able to save enough fish to sell when fish is out of season Business slows down Business becomes very bad since no income is coming home from any different source Business comes down due to inactivity Business goes down and this affects my income level since there's no easy access to fish Business income decreases because of no processing Business is still as usual nothing has changed Buy more fish to store when fish is in abundance and sell at a higher price during lean season Buying more fish and processing against the lean season increases my profit Changes has in the environment has reduced my cash flow because of lack of fish Changes have a negative impact on my business since there's no fish to work with or sell with the kenkey Changes have decrease my income Changes have improved my supply of fish to my customers and increased income Changes have reduced my income Changes in environment has a negative impact on my business Changes in environment has had a negative impact on my business due to the fact that there's no fish to trade with Changes in environment has had a negative impact on my business since I can't get fish to process, we tend to feed on the little capital I have Changes in the environment has had a negative impact on my business, since there's no fish to process, my income level reduces Cost of processing fish increases and there's a reduction in income Currently I am able to get more profit when I sell later in the proceeding year Dwindling incomes. Dwindling of my capital Even though I have increased prices slightly there has been no impact in my business Even though I increase prices there are no known changes Even though I increase prices, there has not been any impacts on my business From the sale of processed fish I don't make a lot of profit but buttress it with my other alternative livelihood Gets idle because I don't have any alternative in terms of business Good preservation methods Good quality of fish Greatly.Now the season is unpredictable such that even in the high season,there are days when there is no fish and days when there is bumper harvest. I process fish in accordance with the situation at a particular time to avoid loss of fish which could le Has increased the prices of fish sold to consumers I am OK with my business I am forced to sell the fresh and processed fish cheap to pay back to fishermen on time I am operating at a loss when there is no fish I become idle and have nothing else to depend on I become idle around this time with no source of income I buy from Cold store which isn't the best I buy from wholesalers and middle men which is very expensive and it reduces my profit I buy less fish I can't get enough fish from the fishermen because there isn't much fish and I have no source of income when it happens I change what I do around this time.,.I sell cooked beans and gari I do not do any thing differently I do not have enough capital to buy and store so I am forced to sell even at unfavourable prices I do not smoke when there is no fish I don't get enough profit around this time since I don't get much fish to buy I don't get the desired quantity which reduces my profit I don't have money to keep the home and take care of my children because there is no fish I don't make much profit when the price goes up I face hardships in taking care of my family and I run out of capital often I get idle around this time, life becomes difficult as am not able to take care of my children I get more profit in the low season I have decided to travel to Tema to buy the imported fish when locally caught fish is not available I have increased the prices to stay in business I have no seen any impacts I have not changed the way I do my business I have not experienced any impacts I have nothing to do at this time, I get idle I have strategized such that I sell in very remote areas during the bumper harvest and do not sell fish during the low season. I have to limit my trading activities to Tapa Abotoase where as I used supply to Accra. This have reduced my income I make a lot more profit around this time I make a lot of more when fish is expensive I need to increase my capital so I can buy more fish because price increases around this time, but I make a lot of profit once I get fish to buy I only buy when my suppliers are ready and have fish I order not to starve I have resorted to alternative livelihood.( soap when there is no fish to process) I process and store more fish during the high season to sell during the low season to maximise profit I process less amount of fish since access to fish is limited and this affects my ability to employ more labourers and my business income reduces I process less in a month and it has affected my income I process less, and it has reduce my income I rely on this business to cater for my children,it becomes difficult to provide for them around this time I resort to stock fish farms and this keeps me in business I sell prepared food around this time I stay home around this time because the fish is expensive and this dwindles the business I try to process more and this increases my profit margin I use this time to do farming If I get fish to sell around this time I make more profit If there is no fish I do not process at all Income fluctuates Income is increased as a lot of people are not engaged because of the increment in prices. Income reduces Income reduces drastically and it affects our livelihood as well Increase availability Increase in income Increase in lifespan of fish for a longer period Increase lifespan of fish for up to 4 months to sell during the lean season Increased in profit Increased in profit margins Increased profit as many people are not selling this time Increasing prices has given me some profit to still remain in business It affect our finances and livelihood It affect our finances as we prefinance the fishing expedition so if the catch is low we lose money. It affects our profit as we don't get enough to buy It causes financial strain to my family It has a negative impact on my business, because we feed on the little capital I have It has a negative impact on my finances because there's no fish to trade with It has a positive impact on my business because after selling more profits is realised It has a positive impact on my business, because after selling i make a lot of profits It has affected my constant supply of income It has affected my finances It has affected my income It has decreased my income It has had a positive impact on my business since i get to sell at a higher price due to scarcity of fish in the system It has helped to maximise profit to some extent It has helped to maximise some profit It has impacted business because of the fluctuating prices It has increase my income It has increased my income It has increased my income level It has increased my income margins It has kept my business in the balance and increase my income margine It has kept my cash flow in balance It has made fish expensive and I don't have money to buy and stay in business It has made my income dwindled It has made my income reduced It has made our income low and because are capital is low we are not able to buy, process and preserve more during bumper season It has negatively impacted our income and livelihood It has reduce my income It has reduced my income It have affected our revenue It have brought hardships to me and my family It have made me run into debt It have not negatively impacted my business that much because I used frozen fish from the Cold store when I don't get fish from my landing site It have reduced the volume of the trading and our income It helps me to maximise profits It increases my profit It is a problem because we can not predict when we can get fish. The uncertainty affects our income It is likely I might mismanage my capital if I do not get constant supply of fish to process and therefore find it difficult to survive. It leads to losses if care is not taken as the fish is over priced It makes life difficult as we have nothing to sustain us It puts financial strain on my family It reduces my profit Lack of access to fish has a negative impact on my business and livelihood Life becomes difficult as there is no source of income My business capital reduces since we had to feed on it. We're not engaged in any productive processing My business sees further progress My capital can no longer buy what I used to buy My income flactuates My income has dwindled My income has reduced significantly My income have decreased My income have dwindled My income have not been stable My income have reduced My income have reduced and I have to resort to hawking Gari to augment my income My income increases due to the extra price i add because fish is not readily available for processing My income is low My income level reduces My income margine increases My income reduces because of unavailability of fish My income reduces because of unavailability of fish to sell My monthly income has reduced My production has reduced, and it has affected my income My profit fluctuates badly and I am unable to account at the end of a month My profit increases around this time My profit increases around this time if only I get fish to buy and sell My profit margin decreased because I'm unable to get cheaper fish to maximise profit on My profit margin is still the same My profit reduces as I don't get enough fish to trade with My source of livelihood have dwindled NA NO change NO changes No No source of income to feed my family No change No change has occurred No changes No changes. No fish to process, I use this time to do farming No impact No serious impact is felt because i increase prices on the little fish that is caught by our boat No source of income for livelihood None Nothing has changed Now I only process if there is fish Now I only process when there is fish Now when fresh is too expensive and the partially processed is also too expensive I decide not to process at all and that will mean my profits are lowered On days that a lot of fish is harvested, I process more and sell later Our income have falling because we need to sell at reduced prices to sustain our regular clients Our incomes are dwindling People do not consume much when it's expensive this reduces my profit Price is expensive and am not able to buy as much fish as I would want to buy which reduces my profit Process more fish to avoid shortage, and this practice has kept my income in the balance Processing in the lean season gives more income and boost my business Processing more fish in the lean season gives me more income Processing more gives me more profits Processing more in the lean season has increased my income more than in the main season Profit is increased at this time as fish becomes scarce Profit is reduced as we buy from wholesalers which is too expensive Profit is reduced, we don't get enough to sell to make profit Profit margin increases and i get to have extra income Prolongment of lifespan of fish Reduced income as we don't get enough fish to sell Reduced profit Sell to gain more Sell to make profit during lean season Since I buy more fish I'm able to gain more profit than I used to get previously Since I try to buy a few quantity at a time, I don't get enough profit So i can sell to make profit during lean season Store and sell later when fish is out of season Store fish to prolong lifespan and sell to during lean season for profit Store to use later when fish is expensive The cost of living becomes very high as I don't have any source of income because am not working normally as I should due to scarcity of fish The fish is expensive therefore it is difficult to sell and make profit The impact on my business is bad since I cannot break even though I even travel to other parts of the country to get fish to sell The little we get to buy we make a lot of profit from it The processing is no longer lucrative. Currently I sell in small quantities and do other alternative livelihood to stay in business The profits I get are now insufficient There are currently no changes There are currently no known impacts. There are no negative or positive impact There has been no known impact There is a negative impact on business, since no income is coming in from the processing because of scarcity of fish There is an instability in business, since availability and access to fish is scarce and these affects my income base There is sharp rise and fall in prices so I am unable to account for my profits at the end of the month These days I only process when there is fish in abundance so business is not yielding much profits. This is because l do not get a lot to process at a time and can not preserve since the shelf life of the fish has decreased because of the chemicals the f Though I try to process and store because of my limited capital and lack of credit it is difficult to remain profitable Though we smoke more fish when it is in abundance, the has not been any significant impact To increase life span of fish To prolong lifespan of fish To sell at higher price during lean season To sell when fish is scares to make extra profit Try to buy more fish and it has maximise my profit Unable to buy more fish because price is high which reduces profit We are financial constrained We are not able to get our preferred species to process We buy from Cold store which is expensive We buy from the cold store which is sometimes unsafe and it affects my business We can not sell due to high prices We do not have a steady flow of income these days it keeps fluctuating creating uncertainty We do not make enough to take care of our family We don't get fish to buy and makes business dormant We don't get fish to buy and process to sell which affects livelihoods We get idle with nothing to do We have nothing to do at this time, no source of income We need a lot of money to buy fish during this period We still do what we do When I sell my preserved fish during the low season, I maximise profit slightly Yes it has eaten up my capital as I can't buy as much as before Yes, I've minimise my cost of production Yes, i make enough profit through increase prices to sustain my business since there's scarcity of fish Yes, it has a negative impact on my business since there's no fish to process or trade with Yes, my income generation has reduced 1.9.1 Are you a member of a local fisheries organisation?
