Summary of research
Inadequate information on fish farmers resilience to climate change, climate change induced flood and attendant hazard, including fish invasions (wild-farm, vice versa), and dearth of holistic fingerprints for monitoring, control and surveillance of invasion of the highly cultured but invasive Clarias gariepinus, across its distribution range in Africa
necessitated this research. The study is expected to produce information on farmer’s knowledge, vulnerability and indigenous resilience to climate change, climate change induced flood and fish farm invasion by alien fishes including Clarias gariepinus strains in response to impact of climate change, It will also generate baseline holistic genomic tools for monitoring, control and surveillance of C. gariepinus in cases of climate change induced invasion
