Abstract
In this study, in-depth, multiple-visit qualitative data was collected from 42 fish cage farming households along different reaches of the Ping River in Northern Thailand, to help better understand the multiple risks farmers face and the role of mobility in adaptive responses to dry season challenges in fish production. Extreme climate events, such as drought or floods, and socioeconomic stresses such as sharply increasing production costs or market collapses, are potential drivers of mobility, where community members migrate to outside labour markets. This is a draft submission (one-pager) towards a longer article / publication.
