Fish production from capture fisheries in spite of its being expensive and risky in the coastal line
regions of Nigeria has been erratic and on the decline in recent years, resulting in increase in poverty
and nutritional deficiency. The result further showed that N 145.83 and N147.00 accrued to
wholesalers and retailers as net income per kilogram of fish sold, representing 28.10% and 25.7% of
the total marketing margins, with marketing efficiency of 674.14% and 787.78% respectively. This,
together with the profitability Index (PI) of 0.24 and 0.23 and Operating ratio (OR) of 0.76 and 0.77
for wholesalers and retailers further lend credence to the profitability of fish marketing in the study
area. Lutjanus endecacantus and Pomadasys jubelini fed on shrimps, fish scales and unidentified
animal matter. Daddy, F. Ayeni, J. S. O. and Mdaihli M. (1999). Lake. Despite its profitability, there
were constraints to production which included inadequate finance, high feed cost, scarcity of good
source of fingerlings and transportation cost. Bacillus was the most predominant with a frequency of
occurrence of 50and 58.8% for fresh fish and smoked fish respectively. Descriptive statistics (means
and percentages), and inferential statistics (Lorenz curve, the Gini coefficient and Gross Margin

over 14 million hectares of inland water surface, out of which about 1.75 million are available and
suitable for aquaculture (FAO, 2006). You can download the paper by clicking the button above. A
simple random sampling technique was then used to select 80 farmers from the list of registered
catfish producers in the LGAs. The major species cultured in Nigeria include tilapias, catfish and
carp; however the African catfish Clariasgariepinus is the most farmed (Agbede et al., 2003). Fish
and fish products constitute more than 60% of the total protein intake in adults especially in rural
areas (Adekoya, 2004). Method: A closed-ended structured questionnaire was used to collect
sociodemographic data from 20 owners of the fish processing site. The depreciation of the Naira,
inflation, the decline in. As much as 3.3 per cent were aged, while youths (30 years or younger)
featured less prominently (11.7 per cent) among the farmers. 70.8 per cent of the fish farmers were
males: it also shows that majority (92.5 per cent) of the fish farmers were married as expected.
Governments at all tiers should enforce all existing. For Nigeria to meet this recommendation, policy
actions geared towards improving domestic productions by providing solution to factors militating
against aquaculture in the country are required. FAO (2003) indicates that fish is very important in
nutrition, as it provides vital nutrients and source of animal protein especially to the poor who are

socioeconomic characteristics revealed that the majority of fish farmers (68%) were male, married
(71.7%), well-educated, and between the ages of 31 and 50. (53.4%). Furthermore, the vast majority
of fish farmers (88.4%) worked in occupations other than fish production. Fish production from
capture fisheries in spite of its being expensive and risky in the coastal line regions of Nigeria has
been erratic and on the decline in recent years, resulting in increase in poverty and nutritional
deficiency. It is something you learn and acquires over time through study and practice.
The majority of respondents (76.3%) were new entrants. Percentage responses, multiple regression
analysis, gross margin and profit analysis were used to address the objectives of the study. The
greatest information needs of fish farmers was on the construction of the modern pond at 73.8
percent, feed formulation techniques at 71.3 percent, feeding operation at 66.3 percent, method of
improving fingerling breeds and stocking operation at 62.5 percent and 61.3 percent respectively.
Multi-stage sampling technique was employed in selecting 65 fish farmers drawn from the sampling
frame obtained from Agricultural Development Project (ADP) contact farmers in two local
government areas, namely Bosso and Chanchaga LGAs’ respectively. Fish farming has been
practiced in the region for over a decade. 62% of the respondent farms practiced monoculture, 61%
practiced integrated farming, 38% use earthen pond only as cultured facilities and 75 % of
respondents cultured African catfish only. Among the factors which impacted significantly on fish
trader's profit were marketing experience, access to credit, storage cost, transportation cost, fish
buying prices and age of marketers. Fisherfolks, fish farmers, fish processors and fish. State. This
amount consist of cost for land acquisition. Most of the respondent (63.75%) had above 15 years
production experience and 48. 75% relying on inherited farmlands. Findings from this review
suggest the need to educate the smoke fish producers and marketers on the neccessary way out to
prevent bacterial organisms and other pathogenic contamination in smoke fish. It produces very
rapidly and grows fast, also it easy to cultivates and is very popular in the Nigeria market. The
primary concern of fisherman is to land good catch. This showed that fish production in the study
area was economically rewarding and profitable. We are also still miles away from what is practiced
in many advanced countries. This study enumerate the factors affecting aquaculture production in
Nigeria with emphasis on fish seed, disease, education, production and management, feed and
feeding,government policy, veterinary care and, breeding, infrastructure and suggested way forward
for profitable and sustainable aquaculture in the country. A wide production gap was observed
among farmers averaged 0.23kg and 93% of the respondents produced below the expected average
weight of 0.99kg. The enterprise was profitable, on every ?1 invested, there was a return of ?1.81.
Also, the effect of production gap on net income was found to be significant and negative. Multiple
linear regressions were used to analyse the results. FAO recommended minimum fish consumption
rate of 12.5 Kilograms per head yearly to satisfy basic protein needs (Zango-Daura, 2000). Tilapia
fish is the easiest and most profitable fish to farm due to its omnivorous diet, mode of reproduction.
It was also observed in the study that regular sorting, growth monitoring, record keeping being
aspects of fish farming management practices were not compromised. Raw soybean, contain

structure and performance of fresh fish marketing in Yenagoa local government area of Bayelsa State.
The objective of the study were to,(i)describe the socioeconomic characteristics of the respondents,
(ii) determine the profitability of catfish production (iii) analyze the farmers' socioeconomic factors
that influence catfish production and (iv)identify the constraints to catfish production in the study
area. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics, budgetary analysis and profitability
ratios. The result of the budgetary analysis show that average total cost (TC) of N 2,883, 515.08 was
incurred, total revenue (TR) of N 4,873,521.29 was realized and a returning gross margin (GM) of N
2,376,616.36. The profitability ratio gave a benefit-cost ratio of 1.69, rate of return of 0.69 gross
revenue ratio (GRR) of 0.59 and expense structure ratio (ESR) of 0.15. This is an indication that fish
farming is profitable in the study area. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics,
budgetary analysis and profitability ratios. FAO (2003) indicates that fish is very important in

The samples were three fish types: Clarias angularis, Channa obscura and Chrysicthtys auratus from
Tombia and Swali markets were analysed. Nigeria wheii the first Fisheries Office was established.
The data were analysed using analytical tools like descriptive statistics, budgetary analysis and
production frontier. Staphylococci predominated due to their ubiquitous nature butBacilli of different
types were the possible pathogens as well as a result of the handling environment. Fifty (50) samples
of five (5) species of fish (Mackerel:Somber scomber, Blue whiting: Micromesistius poutassou,
Catfish: Clarias gariepinus Herrings: Clupea harengus, Horse mackerel: Trachurus trachurus) were
obtained from fifteen (15) different processing site in different location in Ado-Ekiti. Multi-stage
sampling technique was used to obtain primary data from the respondents with the aid of a well-
structured questionnaire, 180 locally pelleted floating feed users. They were grouped based on their
feeding habits into herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores. We are also still miles away from what is
practiced in many advanced countries. Nigeria's Exclusive Economic zone (EEZ) by protecting the
operations of this economic sector and other unauthorized. Sixty (60) respondents were randomly
selected using multi-stage random sampling technique. Catfish was mostly farmed (40%) followed
by Tilapia (23%) and Heterobrancus (20%). The results of this study would further increase
understanding of trophic ecology of the Ikpa River for proper management of the resource and its
contribution as a major feeder draining the Cross River system in Nigeria. The result of the
budgetary analysis show that average total cost (TC) of N 2,883, 515.08 was incurred, total revenue
(TR) of N 4,873,521.29 was realized and a returning gross margin (GM) of N 2,376,616.36. The
profitability ratio gave a benefit-cost ratio of 1.69, rate of return of 0.69 gross revenue ratio (GRR)
of 0.59 and expense structure ratio (ESR) of 0.15. This is an indication that fish farming is profitable
in the study area. The result also indicates a gap of 277,041,960,000 naira between fish import
expenditure and export earnings which represent excess fiscal resources spent in fish import over
export per year. Trawl fishery of juvenile fishes and its impact on fish stock credit seminar. Fish

education, which is predominantly at the tertiary level; Majority, 58.3% of the sampled fish farmers
are also Muslim by religion with 5-10 years fish farming experience by majority. Improved road
networks to farms (including fish farms) would assist with boosting the value chain. On an average
total cost of N403139 was incurred while total revenue of N631316 was realized with a gross margin
of N356906 and net income of N228177 per hectare per annum. The result of the study showed that
there is a significant relationship between total revenue and farm size, feed cost, labour cost and cost
of fingerlings. There was a fairly high but almost equal technical efficiency scores in fish production
for concrete (0.6429) and earthen pond (0.6432. Significant variables affecting fish production in
concrete pond were stock size (?0.01) and feed (?0.05), while the factors affecting inefficiency was
gender. For the aquaculture production, demand shocks, credit potential, inflation, food imports, and
exchange rate were some significant policy variables in the long-run; whereas demand shocks and
exchange rate were also significant in the short-run period. A total of 4544 individuals belonging to
19 species and 10 families were captured. FAO (2003) indicates that fish is very important in
nutrition, as it provides vital nutrients and source of animal protein especially to the poor who are
unable to purchase other more expensive sources such as beef, pork or chicken. State, the fishermen
have nothing togide them Iii their. It produces very rapidly and grows fast, also it easy to cultivates
and is very popular in the Nigeria market. A multi-stage sampling technique was employed in
administering questionnaire. Despite its profitability, there were constraints to production which
included inadequate finance, high feed cost, scarcity of good source of fingerlings and transportation
cost. This survey was carried out to purposely assess the management practices carried out by fish
farmers in four (4) Local Government Areas in Kwara State of Nigeria and thereby propose possible
management practices that can further improve productivity.
The Gini coefficient of the market was 0.23, indicating that there was competition among sellers, the
Lorenz curve did not deviate far from the line of equality, indicating that there is equitable income
distribution among marketers. We are also still miles away from what is practiced in many advanced

Fish and fish products constitute more than 60% of the total protein intake in adults especially in
rural areas (Adekoya, 2004). Data for the study was collected through face to face interview and the
use of checklist from the 22nd of May to 27th of July, 2019. Fishing Crafts in Chairman Ghat,
Noakhali, Bangladesh. H odoe and P obscura fed mostly on fish and other animal materials. A
combination of descriptive statistics, marketing margin, budgetary and ordinary least square
regression analyses were employed to analyze the study data. The results apparently revealed that
aquaculture production, artisanal fish production, and total fish production, grew exponentially at the
rate of 8.90%, 3.75%, and 4.25% respectively. To be more precise, various other factors like, demand
shocks, food imports, and variable exchange rate, affected artisanal fish production in the long-run;
while exchange rate and demand shocks were significant in the short-run period. High cost of feed,
unavailability of quality fingerlings, poor access to credit and poor storage facilities were major
constraints to fish production in the study areas. Despite its profitability, there were constraints to
production which included inadequate finance, high feed cost, scarcity of good source of fingerlings
and transportation cost. For Nigeria to meet this recommendation, policy actions geared towards
improving domestic productions by providing solution to factors militating against aquaculture in the
country are required. The result also indicates a gap of 277,041,960,000 naira between fish import
expenditure and export earnings which represent excess fiscal resources spent in fish import over
export per year. The result also showed that the cost of production was N141, 461.08 with the total
revenue of N 321,400.00 and the net income of N 179,938.92 per production cycle for an average
farmer indicating that pond fish production is a profitable venture in the study area. The data used
for the study were collected from 80 fish farmers randomly selected from the study area..Descriptive
statistics (tables and percentages) and multiple regression analysis were the tools of analysis adopted.
High cost of feed, unavailability of quality fingerlings, poor access to credit and poor storage
facilities were major constraints to fish production in the study areas. Institute Building, Community

according to the same report: the segment generated N135bn in Q3 compared with N138bn in Q2
and N171bn in Q1. Staphylococci predominated due to their ubiquitous nature butBacilli of different
types were the possible pathogens as well as a result of the handling environment. This makes the
assessment of various aspects of fish, especially their feeding ecology quite imperative for
developing conservation and management strategies. Governments at the three tiers should perform
their. The data shows that, the food items consumed by these fish species covered a wide feeding
range. Cross River State House of assembly will pass the BiIi. Government fish farms that are no
longer operational were recommended for privatization and or commercialization on revival for the
provision of more employment, income generation and poverty reduction, especially among the
internally displaced person (IDP) in Nigeria. Based on the findings of this study, it is recommended
that: The major constraint impeding expansion of fish production in the study area was financial
problem. Due to public health implication, the state of smoked fish should be paid proper attention
by the processors and consumers for their safety through proper processing, storage and handling
procedures. Rank correlation analysis of 0.5425, shows that there is a high degree of agreement
between farmers as regards the constraint of fish farming. The study made use of a cross-sectional
data obtained from fish farmers in the two zones of Lagos-state agricultural development project.
Their TVC ranges from 0.2x10 2-0.8x10 2. The findings indicates that smoked fish sold in Awka
markets and environs are all contaminated, proper awareness should be done to educate the fish
vendors on proper and hygienic methods of processing and selling their products. The result also
showed that the cost of production was N141, 461.08 with the total revenue of N 321,400.00 and the
net income of N 179,938.92 per production cycle for an average farmer indicating that pond fish
production is a profitable venture in the study area.

information needs of fish farmers was on the construction of the modern pond at 73.8 percent, feed
formulation techniques at 71.3 percent, feeding operation at 66.3 percent, method of improving
fingerling breeds and stocking operation at 62.5 percent and 61.3 percent respectively. The amount
of foreign exchange on fish importation also increased from N 48.3 billion in 2000 to N 115.88
billion in 2007. In 2008, 681 metric tonss wass imported intoo the country. The findings revealed that
sixty-five percent were males while thirty-five percent were females. It was concluded that many
farmers are producing below the expected output. The factors that determined the profitability of
fresh fish marketers were the Cost of purchasing fish, Cost of transportation, Refrigeration cost, and
Labour cost. WorldFish Similar to Development of fish in nigeria ( 20 ) Import fish into Nigeria now

data for this study were collected from forty-five fish farmers using earthen pond and thirty fish
farmers using concrete pond through simple random sampling technique and complete enumeration
techniques respectively. This study enumerate the factors affecting aquaculture production in Nigeria
with emphasis on fish seed, disease, education, production and management, feed and
feeding,government policy, veterinary care and, breeding, infrastructure and suggested way forward
for profitable and sustainable aquaculture in the country. They can survive on a plant protein-based
fish feed. The major species cultured in Nigeria include tilapias, catfish and carp; however the
African catfish Clariasgariepinus is the most farmed (Agbede et al., 2003). Fish and fish products
constitute more than 60% of the total protein intake in adults especially in rural areas (Adekoya,
2004). Therefore, credit should be made available and accessible to fish farmers at low interest rate
by the government and private organizations. They were grouped based on their feeding habits into
herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores. These are occasionally available but the process of buying.

small-scale farms ranging from homestead concrete ponds (25-40 meters) to small earth ponds (0.02-
0.2 hectares). In spite of the great potentials of fish farming in Nigeria, Nigeria is still unable to
bridge the gap in the short fall between total domestic fish production and the total domestic
demand. The SPSS statistical package of version 25.0.0.0 was used for data computation. This

the mean age, household size and fish farming experience were 46 years, 6 persons per household
and 9.3 years respectively. Despite its profitability, there were constraints to production which
included inadequate finance, high feed cost, scarcity of good source of fingerlings and transportation
cost. A simple random sampling technique was then used to select 80 farmers from the list of
registered catfish producers in the LGAs. The major findings of the study were that fish production
was mostly practiced by men, with 75.5% between 31-50 years of age, 68.75% were married and
92.5% having formal education. Data were collected using structured questionnaire which was
designed to solicit information on the marketers’ socioeconomic and marketing characteristics,
operating costs and returns, and problems associated with fish marketing in the study area.
INTRODUCTION Fish farming or culture which is an aspect of aquaculture is an integral
component of the overall agricultural production system in Nigeria. Constraints perceived by most of
the farmers include high cost of fish feed and market price fluctuation.
A well structured questionnaire was used to collect appropriate information as relates to primary
data. The paper appraises fisheries development in Nigeria with specific reference to Cross River
State and the problems. Eyo, A.A. Madri, CT. Akande, I.A. iird'0komoda. J.K. Samples were
selected using multi-stage sampling techniques, and 60 farmers were chosen at random. At present,
most fish farmers operate small-scale farms ranging from homestead concrete ponds (25-40 meters)
to small earth ponds (0.02-0.2 hectares). In spite of the great potentials of fish farming in Nigeria,
Nigeria is still unable to bridge the gap in the short fall between total domestic fish production and
the total domestic demand. For Nigeria to meet this recommendation, policy actions geared towards
improving domestic productions by providing solution to factors militating against aquaculture in the
country are required. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics, budgetary analysis
