The demand is high and some big fish sellers buy all the available fish. 1 During farming season the money is spent on farming activities 1 During rainy season , fish handling is difficult 1 During rainy season handling is difficult 1 During rainy season the lake is dirty and windy on our end and the fishermen don't catch fish as the fish goes to distant places where to there is clean water 1 During rainy season the lake is dirty on our end and the fishermen don't catch fish as the fish goes to distant places where to there is clean water 2 During rainy season the weather is usually bad as the water has waves which prevents fishermen from fishing. Additionally to the water becomes dirty hence the fish moves to far distant places. These reasons contribute to high scarcity of fish and the fish 1 During the rainy season when there's not enough sunshine to dry the fish 1 During the rainy season, fishermen do not have proper fishing materials to withstand bad weather so fish become scarce. In addition, fish easily go bad during the rainy season so people rarely buy 1 During this period farm work demands alot of our time hence very little time is available for fish business 1 During this period, fish are not in season and even if they have the money to buy fish, they cannot because they are out of season 1 During this period, fish supply is low 1 Expensive 1 Expensive due to bad weather on the lake 1 Fish become scarce 6 Fish become scarce and expensive 2 Fish become scarce and expensive during this period because fishers do not fish during the cold season 1 Fish become

low and the ordering prices are high 1 It is mostly windy on the lake thus makes prices of fish high 1 It is windy and the lake is unsettled this causes the fishermen not to go out and fish 1 It's expensive 2 It's rain season, so it is hard to process fish 1 It's rainy 1 It's rainy and farming season 1 It's rainy and windy 2 1 It's rainy and windy, fish is in low supply and therefore expensive 1 It's rainy season so handling is difficult 1 1 1 It's windy and rainy 1 It's windy and this inhibits fishing 1 It's windy on the lake and this makes it unrecommended to fish 1 It's windy on the sea

The prices on the landing sites are high and the prices at the market are lower 1 When the buying price is expensive. This requires the selling price to be high in order for them to make profit. So at the market if there is high supply of fish the price is low and this leads to a loss 1 When the capital gets low 1 When the capital gets too low and the fish is being auctioned at a high price on the beach. 1 When the fish is scarce it is usually expensive to order 1 When the money needs to be used for crop production 2 When the money needs to be used for crop production (buying inputs and paying for labour) 2 When the money needs to be used for crop production (i.e to buy inputs and pay for labour) 1 When the money needs to be used for crop production (i.e. buying of farm inputs and labour) 1 When the money needs to be used for crop production activities 1 When the money needs to invested in other more profitable businesses 1 When the price is too high from the buyers so for the fear of realizing no profit she decides to not buy 1 When the prices are high 2 When the prices are very high 1 When the respondent has a low capital, she does not buy fish for marketing 1 When the supply is high on the market it is difficult to make profits as the prices extremely go very low 1 When the wholesale price is high 1 When there is high supply of fish at the market 1 When there is high supply of fish at the market and the selling prices are too cheap such that it is difficult to make profits 1 When there is high supply of fish, this results in low selling prices hence we make loses 1 1 1 When there is too much rains 1 When there is too much rains fish handling is difficult 1 When there is too much supply on the market, the selling prices goes down. 1 When there it is raining 1 1 When they are out of season 1 1 1 1.6.8 What are the main barriers you face in buying fish? 301 Fish is not available in the market 16 Fish is not available in the market Fish is of poor quality/unsafe to consume Price is too high 6 Fish is not available in the market Fish is of poor quality/unsafe to consume Too time consuming to prepare Price is too high 1 Fish is not available in the market Price is too high 120 Fish is not available in the market Price is too high Fish is of poor quality/unsafe to consume 5 Fish is of poor quality/unsafe to consume Fish is not available in the market Price is too high 2 Fish is of poor quality/unsafe to consume Price is too high 3 Fish is of poor quality/unsafe to consume Price is too high Fish is not available in the market 2 Fish is of poor quality/unsafe to consume Price is too high Too time consuming to prepare 1 Price is too high 91 Price is too high Fish is not available in the market 37 Price is too high Fish is not available in the market Fish is of poor quality/unsafe to consume 6 Price is too high Fish is of poor quality/unsafe to consume 6 Price is too high Fish is of poor quality/unsafe to consume Fish is not available in the market 3 Too time consuming to prepare Fish is not available in the market Price is too high 1 Too time consuming to prepare Price is too high 1 1.6.8 What are the main barriers you face in buying fish?/Fish is not available in the market 301 5 1 No 102 2 Yes 199 Sysmiss 5 1.6.8 What are the main barriers you face in buying fish?/Fish is of poor quality/unsafe to consume 301 5 1 No 266 2 Yes 35 Sysmiss 5 1.6.8 What are the main barriers you face in buying fish?/Too time consuming to prepare 301 5 1 No 297 2 Yes 4 Sysmiss 5 1.6.8 What are the main barriers you face in buying fish?/Price is too high 301 5 1 No 16 2 Yes 285 Sysmiss 5 1.6.9 Do you feel that your access to fish is there when you need it when in season? 301 0 Certain (always know I can get the fish I need) 59 Usually certain (most days I get the fish I need from the source I want) 239 Very uncertain (I often have to search for fish and end up without fish at least 3 days per week) 3 1.7.1.1 Did you (singular) participate in these activities in the past 12 months?
