Abstract

The presentation is derived from two proposed interventions towards mitigating climate change risk and vulnerability of fish farmers. Stress under current climate conditions is seen in variations in water quantity and quality. Market risk is borne or shared within a production organization, contract farming, independent and or farmers cooperatives. Images illustrate fish farming practices and water monitoring activities. Insurance companies could make payment conditional on prescribed private avoidance activities. Public support needs not be in the form of subsidies but from public information, for example monitoring water quality.
