According to Conservation International, “Aquaculture has a lower environmental impact than cattle, pig and poultry farming.” The demand for fishes grow on a daily basis given its – low in calories and cholesterol level – health benefits.  The most common species cultivated amongst farmers within Nigeria are Catfish and Tilapia. In fish farming, fishes are raised in controlled tanks or ponds, and the kind of fishes cultivated by farmers depends on market demand.
