Abstract
The paper sought to establish effect of culture on sustainability of fish farming in Uasin Gishu County, Kenya. The study employed descriptive survey design. The study was carried out in Moiben Sub-County, Uasin Gishu County in Kenya. The study population comprised of fish farmers and Extension Officers in Moiben Sub-County. The target population of 120 fish farmers and 8 Extension Officers. The data was collected using questionnaires and interviews. The data was analyzed using frequencies, percentages and regression. The study established that most people in Moiben Sub-County prefer other sources of protein over fish, and for this reason, fish farmers felt that the people in the locality needs to be educated to change their feeding habits in favour of fish. This was attributed to the fact that traditionally; fish farming was not a preferred choice for the members of the community dominant in the area. The study further established that most farmers in the locality would rather engage in other farming enterprises than fish farming. The study recommended that department of fisheries should conduct awareness campaigns to educate people on the advantages of fish as source of animal protein.
