This study examines the impact of fish production on household living conditions in Kasama’s Zone 5 Area. A survey of 50 fish farmers explored fish farming strategies, including fish types, feed, pond management and marketing. Results revealed 60% farm tilapia, favored for its growth and marketability and 30% farm catfish for its resilience. Commercial feed was the most used (50%), followed by homemade feed (30%), reflecting cost-conscious practices. Key pond management strategies included water quality testing (40%) and pond maintenance (30%), aimed at enhancing productivity. Local markets (60%) were the primary sales channel, underscoring the role of local demand. Socio-economic benefits included income increases (60%), job creation (90%), improved food security (70%), and school fee affordability (50%). A Chi-Square test showed a significant link between fish type and feed choice (P=0.032), but not between fish type and food security (P=0.192). Awareness of policies was high (70%), yet only 50% utilized them. A significant association between policy awareness and perceived effectiveness (P=0.000) highlights the need for improved communication and education. These findings offer valuable insights for policymakers to enhance fish farming and improve livelihoods in the region.
