FISH MARKETING AND BUSINESS IN NIGERIA

Fish farming is the principal form of aquaculture, while other methods may fall under mariculture. Fish farming involves raising fish commercially in tanks
or enclosures, usually for food. A
facility that releases young
(juvenile) fish into the wild for recreational fishing or to supplement a species' natural
numbers is generally referred to
as a fish hatchery. The most common fish species raised by fish
farms are salmon, carp, tilapia, European seabass, catfish and cod. There is an increasing demand for
fish and fish protein, which has
resulted in widespread overfishing in wild fisheries. Fish farming offers fish marketers another source. However, farming carnivorous fish, such as salmon, does not always reduce pressure
on wild fisheries, since
carnivorous farmed fish are
usually fed fishmeal and fish oil extracted from wild forage fish. In this way, the salmon can consum
in weight more wild fish than they
weigh themselves. The global
returns for fish farming recorded
by the FAO in 2008 totalled 33.8 million tonnes worth about $US 60 million. You can make earns of living by engaging your self in fish business. For help contact us call +2348032861326. Be self employed.
