ASSOCIATIONS
The
main professional associations that look after the interest of fish farmers and
aquaculturists in Nigeria include:
(i) Fisheries
Society of Nigeria (FISON)
(ii) Association
of Fish Farmers and Aquaculturist of Nigeria ( AFFAN)
(iii) Catfish
Farmers Association of Nigeria (CAFAN)
(iv) United
Fisheries Association of Nigeria (UFAN)
(v) Association
of Fingerlings Prodssucers of Nigeria (AFPON)
(vi) Nigeria
Union of Fishermen and Seafood Dealers (NUFASD)
(vii)
Asssociation of Ornamental Fish Exports
of Nigeria (AOFFN).
Most
of the associations have overlapping activities, with everybody doing almost
everything and the same thing. Most of them are relatively new and not yet
officially registered. In effect, they are almost powerless in influencing
government policies and unable to take decisions that would be blinding on
members. Seed producers in Nigeria operate more on an individual basis.
