Fish farmer seeks increased production to develop industry
The National President, Catfish and Allied Fish Farmers Association of Nigeria (CAFFAN), Momoh Mustapha, says the Nigerian fish industry can be developed through an increased volume of fish produced.
In an interview on Monday, Mr Mustapha said the fish industry could also be improved by conservation and management, fisheries post-harvest, fish training and extension services.
“Similarly, fisheries information and marketing services, research and development in fisheries could also be a boost to the fish industry,” Mr Mustapha said.
He said fisheries development is generally compelled to improve the overall fish production in the country.
Mr Mustapha said fisheries development would raise the social status of fishermen and
increase the protein intake in the diet of the general public.
The president advocated strict policy on overfishing to prevent the activities of sea pirates, which posed a huge threat to the lives of fishermen and fishing vessel operators.
