This study examines perception of climate change and adaptation strategies on catfish farming in Oyo State. Data were collected with the aid of structured questionnaire to elicit information from 90 catfish farmers using snow ball technique. Data were analyzed using descriptive and statistics such as frequency count, percentages, and mean. The results showed that majority (70.0%) of the respondents were aged 30-49 years, about 58.9% were males. Majority (68.9%) of the respondents was married and over 65.8% had completed formal schooling, while only 25.6% had not formal education. The average household size was 6 persons. However, the highest percentage on perceived climate change include incidence of heavy rainfall 82.2%, increased precipitation 78.9%. Adaptation strategies employed include isolation of sick fish, daily water temperature check and stocking of healthy fingerling which was ranked 1st, 2nd and 3rd. The study concludes that respondent’s perception about climate change was unfavourable. The study therefore recommended that there should be introduction of sustainable fishing operation in the study area.
