Fish Production & Management

In Nigeria, the demand for fish is being met through two main sources which are domestic production and importation from foreign countries. The domestic production is from artisanal, industrial and culture fisheries with artisanal fisheries accounting for as much as 85% of total fish production, while industrial and culture fisheries accounted for 1% and 14% respectively. Due to the insufficiency of domestic production of fish, importation of fish and fish products accounts for more than half of fish supply in the country.

This training manual will focus on the areas of fish farming and general aquaculture practices as a means to diversify income for target groups.

A video lesson is also included; you will get tips on how to manage and take care of fish.
