\textbf{Abstract}
\begin{abstract}
\normalsize{
With other factors in consideration, there are two traditional production and cultural aspects that could hinder the development of cage fish farming in the Uganda cattle corridor as established during the attempt to introduce BOMOSA cage fish farming system in traditionally non fish eating pastoral communities in Uganda. These aspects include the presence of a majority non"=fish eating communities and high value attached to water sources as cattle survival sheds. Findings indicated that Nakasongola communities that are comprised majorly of pastoralists are largely traditionally non"=fish eating, strongly objected to introduction of BOMOSA cage fish farming system in the communal water reservoirs as it was considered taboo for a cattle keeper to farm fish. Majority of water reservoirs that had been targeted for the BOMOSA Cage fish farming plots were purposed to water their large herds of cattle; and were guarded as such and are not open to any other use. Using data from the BOMOSA household based survey in 2006 fish consumption patterns as well as willingness to adopt the BOMOSA cage fish farming project were assessed in Nakasongola district with the following general indications. 20 community leaders were interviewed as respondents in the baseline survey as part of preliminary activities for introduction of BOMOSA Cage Fish Farming systems. \mbox{85\,\%} of the respondents were non fish eaters due to traditional and cultural inhibitions and \mbox{90\,\%} of the respondents strongly opposed the introduction and participation in the cage fish farming systems on the 4 communal water reservoirs. Among the reasons given were that fish would `infest and affect' the performance of their cattle and contaminate the domestic water supply from the reservoirs; secondly that they were primarily beef eaters, who could not be seen or heard to have eaten fish. A cultural tolerance for adoption programme needs to be incorporated in the BOMOSA concept for successful introduction and adoption of BOMOSA Cage Fish Farming systems in such pastoral communities with no tradition of fish eating.}
