POPULARIZATION OF FISH FARMING


POPULARIZATION OF FISH FARMING IN NIGERIA

During the initial period from 1940 to 1970, fish farming was more or less practiced as a hobby and for limited research demonstrations. All fish seed were either collected from the wild or imported from abroad, especially Cyprinus carpio (common carp) which were imported from Austria and Isreal at different times. In the case of wild fish, they were usually collected during their breeding season or during migration of the school. This period coincides with the rainy season in Nigeria (March to November in the South and May to October in the North). The collection is made by artisanal fishermen using fibre-woven basket traps and finemesh nets most of which have been outlawed in recent conservation measures. The point of collection could be open waters for fish schools (e.g. Heterotis niloticus) or shallower end of the river at the mouth of tributaries, which usually is the breeding ground of most species.
