Climate-induced floods are increasing in Africa. The need to evolve framework for adaptation to climate change impact (CCI) among flood-prone fish farmers necessitated this study. Based on availability, 60 farming active flood-experienced fish farmers were purposively selected from flood-prone (Gulu and Kibuku) regions in climate hotspot Uganda. These were assessed for CCI adaptation tendencies in their socioeconomics and farming operation/techniques (FOI) indices, CCI awareness, CCI adaptation strategies, and perceived required interventions (RIs) using structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed through descriptive and multivariate regression tools. Respondents were mostly male, adults, educated, Christian, married, medium-sized family, social group members, 1–5 years’ experience, medium-sized farms, and government trained. Income was 1.0–6.0 million Ugx/year. In FOI, semi-intensive culture system, use of rainwater plus groundwater, small-sized (< 0.5 ha) ponds, ponds possession of inlets and outlets, seasonal farming and mixed culture/farming dominated. Most respondents were aware of CCI, while erratic rainfall with floods and prolonged drought mostly impacted farming. AS-Adaptation Strategy were changed stocking time and livelihood diversification. Communication technology and social group’s membership enhanced adaptation, while inadequate awareness constrains adaptation. Respondents’ RI(s) were tree planting, irrigation and pond perimeter trenching. Gender, government training, farm size, water sources and presence of inlet and outlets in ponds (FOI) predicted adaptation (R = 0.802, R² = 0.64, P < 0.05). Some socioeconomic, technical and awareness indices could assist CCI flexibility. However, the statistically significant predictors of adaptation, identified adaptive strategies, constraints to adaptation and required interventions could be integrated into a framework for effective CCI adaptation for sustainable fish farming in flood-prone scenarios.

非洲由气候引发的洪灾正在增加。易发洪水的鱼农之间需要制定适应气候变化影响（CCI）的框架的需要使这项研究成为必要。根据可用性，有目的地从乌干达气候热点易发洪灾的地区（古卢和基布库）选出了60位有洪灾经验丰富的活跃养殖渔民。使用结构化问卷对这些人群的CCI适应趋势进行了社会经济和农业操作/技术（FOI）指数，CCI意识，CCI适应策略以及感知的所需干预（RI）评估。通过描述性和多元回归工具分析数据。受访者主要是男性，成年人，受过教育的，基督教的，已婚的，中等规模的家庭，社会团体成员，1-5年的经验，中等规模的农场以及受过政府培训的人。收入为1.0–6。0万Ugx /年。在FOI，半精养系统中，使用雨水加地下水，小型（<0.5公顷）池塘，拥有进水口和出水口的池塘，季节性养殖和混合养殖/养殖为主。大多数受访者都知道CCI，而降雨泛滥，洪水和长期干旱主要影响了农业。适应战略改变了放养时间和生计多样化。通信技术和社会团体的成员资格增强了适应能力，而意识不足则限制了适应能力。受访者的RI是植树，灌溉和池塘周边挖沟。性别，政府培训，农场规模，水源以及池塘进出口的存在（FOI）预测适应性（0.5公顷）池塘，拥有进出水口的池塘，季节性养殖和混合养殖/养殖为主。大多数受访者都知道CCI，而降雨泛滥，洪水和长期干旱主要影响了农业。适应战略改变了放养时间和生计多样化。通信技术和社会团体的成员资格增强了适应能力，而意识不足则限制了适应能力。受访者的RI是植树，灌溉和池塘周边挖沟。性别，政府培训，农场规模，水源以及池塘进出口的存在（FOI）预测适应性（0.5公顷）池塘，拥有进水口和出水口的池塘，季节性养殖和混合养殖/养殖为主。大多数受访者都知道CCI，而降雨泛滥，洪水和长期干旱主要影响了农业。适应战略改变了放养时间和生计多样化。通信技术和社会团体的成员资格增强了适应能力，而意识不足则限制了适应能力。受访者的RI是植树，灌溉和池塘周边挖沟。性别，政府培训，农场规模，水源以及池塘进出口的存在（FOI）预测适应性（降雨泛滥，洪水泛滥和长期干旱对农业造成了很大影响。适应战略改变了放养时间和生计多样化。通信技术和社会团体的成员资格增强了适应能力，而意识不足则限制了适应能力。受访者的RI是植树，灌溉和池塘周边挖沟。性别，政府培训，农场规模，水源以及池塘进出口的存在（FOI）预测适应性（降雨泛滥，洪水泛滥和长期干旱对农业造成了很大影响。适应战略改变了放养时间和生计多样化。通信技术和社会团体的成员资格增强了适应能力，而意识不足则限制了适应能力。受访者的RI是植树，灌溉和池塘周边挖沟。性别，政府培训，农场规模，水源以及池塘进出口的存在（FOI）预测适应性（R  ＝ 0.802，R ²  ＝ 0.64，P  ＜0.05）。一些社会经济，技术和意识指标可以帮助CCI保持灵活性。但是，可以将具有统计意义的适应性预测因子，已确定的适应性策略，适应性限制和所需的干预措施纳入有效CCI适应性框架中，以在易发生洪水的情况下实现可持续的鱼类养殖。
