Description:
The paper traced aquacultural development in Nigeria to the colonial period in 1950s with fish farming in tilapias during which more than 200 small scale subsistence level ponds were built with some growth continuing in the rural areas. There was a bloom in farming of catfishes in 2000. The interest shown by private fish farmers has been identified as a propelling factor for aquacultural development in Nigeria. The development of private fish hatcheries has been another factor leading to the growth of aquaculture. The paper noted that social capital and its development either directly or indirectly can be identified as contributing to the success of the sectors. The increasing profit from aquaculture has led to fish farmers increasing beyond 5000 tonnes in 2009. The paper highlighted the numerous advantages which led to the expansion of the industry in Nigerian villages.
