Given its cheaper price, fish has become an integral part of Nigerians' diet and remains the main product consumed in terms of animal protein.
Nigeria has become a major destination for imported seafood with total market demand growing to more than one million tonnes per annum. The domestic catch caters for more than half of the total fish demand. Lake Chad and the southern coastal waters are the main sources of fish, but large quantities are caught every year in pools in seasonal rivers of the northern states.
Fish farming is on the rise in country and tilapia and catfish are the major species farmed by local fish farmers.
Opportunities for investment exist in the various sub-sectors, especially in the areas of storage, processing and preservation of the captured fish and fish seed multiplication for aquaculture.
