Promoting Sustainable Fish Farming in Delta State
This crucial project addresses the need for sustainable aquaculture practices in Delta State, a region with abundant water resources and a significant reliance on fisheries for livelihoods and food security in Nigeria. The initiative focuses on empowering local fish farmers through comprehensive training and ongoing support in modern aquaculture techniques. This includes guidance on optimal pond construction and management, efficient fish feeding strategies using locally sourced and nutritionally balanced feeds, and effective disease prevention and management protocols to minimize losses. Furthermore, the project aims to improve fish farmers' access to quality fish fingerlings from reliable hatcheries and to facilitate better linkages to markets, enabling them to sell their produce at fair prices. By promoting environmentally responsible and economically viable fish farming practices, the project seeks to enhance fish production, improve the livelihoods of fish farming communities, and contribute to the long-term sustainability of the fisheries sector in Delta State and Nigeria.
