This study was guided by three main objectives that is, to find out how fishing activities contribute to social economic improvement of local community around Kasenyi fishing landing site, to find out the different activities involved in fishing around Kasenyi fishing landing site and to establish the relationship between fishing and other social economic activities around Kasenyi fishing landing site. The findings show that respondents in the age bracket of 18 - 30 years were the majority representing 48% followed by those in the age racket of 31 – 40 years who constituted 25%. Those between 40 – 50 years constituted 18% while those over 50 years constituted 10%. The results confirm what was observed by Muzige (2009) that fishing activities are mostly done by people of between the age of 20 and 40. The study recommends that there is need to formulate and package policies, byelaws and regulations to guide enforcement of quality of fish yield standard.
