Abstract
Nigeria owns significant fisheries with a coastline of 853 km and over 14 million hectares of inland waters. The contribution of fisheries to the Nigerian economy is significant. However, the industry is laden with various problems. The domestic fish production (0.61 MT) has fallen short of the demand (1.55 million MT). To achieve the much desired fish-food sufficiency, aquaculture development is the solution.
