• POACHING OF FISH BY COMMUNITY MEMBERS

SUMMARY OF NIOMR’S AQUACULTURE VALUE CHAIN

THE GOAL OF THE AQUACULTURE VALUE CHAIN•To  create  an  enabling  environment  for increased  and  sustainable  production  of  over one million metric  tons of Aquaculture fish and to  generate  five  hundred  thousand  jobs (500,000 Nos.) under a 4-year work plan (2011-2015). All states and the FCT will be involved in achieving this goal.

EXPECTED OUTPUT

• 1.25 billion fingerling seeds per annum• Production of 400,000 metric tones of fish feed per year• Production of additional 250,000 metric tones of table fish per year• Production of 100,000 metric tones of value added fish and fisheries products per year

• Create 100,000 jobs per annum for the next five years which will include at least 20,000 youths and women.

• Over 6,000 Broodstock of Catfish and Tilapia

STRATEGY

  Baseline  studies  conducted  on  the current  status  of  the  various components  along  the  Aquaculture Value  Chain  due  to  lack  of  adequate information  in  most  of  the  states visited during the field trips. 

STRATEGY II

Broodstock Development and Fingerlings DevelopmentOne  of  the  most  important  inputs  to  the  aquaculture value chain  is high quality fish fingerlings  in the required quantity. Presently about 1.2 Billion fingerlings of various species  are  required  in  order  to  be  able  to  produce  1 Million metric tons of table fish annually. The total supply is  approximately  300  Million,  which  is  just  25%. Correspondingly  600,000  pieces  of  Broodstock  are  now needed. 

STRATEGY III

AN ELABORATE FACILITY FOR TILAPIA RESEARCH IN BADORE, LAGOS.

Mobilization and Cluster Formation of Producer Groups within the Aquaculture Value Chain.

Capacity Development in all the Aquaculture Value Chains

Strategy continues• Development of viable Broodstock for hatchery producers• Development of new fish species for aquaculture industries• Development of marine and freshwater shrimp for both local and export market

• Development of Mariculture industry to include marine fin fish species.• Improvement of Artisanal and Industrial fishers• Development of value added fisheries products• Development of aquaculture machineries including feeder, pelleter, extruder

• Fish Health and Disease control and propagation• Breeding of ornament fish speciesDEMONSTRATION  OF  EXISTING  FISHERIES  INNOVATION  BY  THE EXTENSION DEPARTMENT
