| contents | <p><span>This study investigates the impact of fish farming on revenue generation and job creation in Bauchi and Toro Local Government Areas of Bauchi State, Nigeria. The research aims to assess how fish farming contributes to local economic development, focusing on income levels, employment opportunities, and sustainability. A descriptive survey design was employed, and data were collected through structured questionnaires administered to selected fish farmers, government officials, and stakeholders in the fishery sector. The findings reveal that fish farming significantly contributes to household income, enhances food security, and creates both direct and indirect employment opportunities, particularly among youths and women. Additionally, the study highlights the challenges faced by fish farmers, including inadequate access to credit facilities, poor infrastructure, and lack of technical training. The study concludes that with proper support and investment, fish farming holds great potential for enhancing economic growth in the study areas. Recommendations include government intervention in providing subsidies, improved training programs, and better access to markets and finance to boost the sector’s productivity and impact</span></p> |
