Transporte vivo, acuicultura, calidad del agua, bienestar de los peces, actitudes y percepciones públicasResumen
Los peces vivos tienen una gran demanda en todo el mundo, especialmente en China, donde los estándares de calidad se alinean con las preferencias de los consumidores. En Kenia, los debates sobre peces vivos, particularmente en regiones ricas en acuicultura, son puntos focales. Sin embargo, la falta de un enfoque sistemático para el transporte de peces vivos plantea desafíos para las partes interesadas. Esta investigación explora las actitudes y percepciones de las partes interesadas en Kenia con respecto a la adopción del transporte de peces vivos, arrojando luz sobre los procedimientos de transporte y los desafíos del sector. Utilizando un diseño de investigación descriptivo, se recopilaron datos primarios de diversos actores de la acuicultura a través de un cuestionario, abordando sus conocimientos, percepciones y actitudes hacia el transporte de peces vivos en el país. El estudio revela patrones variados en Kenia, influenciados por el propósito y la distancia. Los coches privados ocupan un lugar destacado con 26,3%, con Nyanza y Mombasa a la cabeza con 35%. Las furgonetas modificadas prevalecen en las regiones Central-Nairobi y Occidental (25% y 22,5%, respectivamente), mientras que el transporte público está muy extendido, especialmente en Central y Nairobi (25%). Los vehículos para peces vivos construidos expresamente dominan en Western y Nyanza (20% y 17,5%, respectivamente). Los crustáceos como langostas y cangrejos se exportan principalmente desde la región Costa (27,5%). En general, los participantes evaluaron su conocimiento sobre el transporte de peces vivos como moderado, con una comprensión básica del bienestar de los peces. Los comentarios indican prácticas comunes en el transporte de peces vivos en Kenia, como tanques sellados, bolsas de plástico y vehículos especialmente diseñados. Las fluctuaciones de temperatura y oxígeno plantean un desafío importante durante el transporte en todas las regiones, particularmente en Mombasa y Kisumu. El uso de anestésicos, especialmente para el consumo de pescado, es poco frecuente. El estudio reveló percepciones favorables de las partes interesadas sobre el transporte y el bienestar de los peces vivos, lo que indica una adopción temprana. Se recomienda realizar investigaciones adicionales sobre el bienestar de los peces, las mejores prácticas de gestión, los avances tecnológicos y los estudios interdisciplinarios para mejorar la sostenibilidad del sector del transporte de peces vivos y el bienestar de los peces en Kenia.
