Landing price analysis of fish attributes remain undisclosed during the fish harvest landing to landing sites, although it is potential to the wellbeing of artisanal fisher. This study employed a cross-sectional research design and 289 artisanal fishers sampled to investigate fish attributes on landing prices around Lake Victoria, Tanzania, for selected fish species: Nile perch, Tilapia and Sardine species. Two-stage hedonic price model employed in the analysis.

Assessing progress on sustainability in fisheries presents an urgent need to evaluate how management reforms interact with fishing communities to not only assure the health of the fish stock, but also create social and economic benefits. A number of fisheries management reforms are undertaken every year in recognition of the important role fisheries play in providing employment and income to remote coastal communities, contributing to food security and poverty alleviation.

The triple-bottom-line (TBL) approach defines successful fisheries as those which are ecologically sustainable, capable of generating profits to fishermen, and socially accepted. This approach has brought two significant challenges to fishery managers. On the one hand, the TBL approach usually requires new types of data and analysis to guide scientifically-based fisheries assessment. Recent research suggests that scientifically-assessed fisheries have a better likelihood of success compared with scientifically-unassessed fisheries, which represent most developing country fisheries.
