Abstract

The vast fish resources of the African continent offer many benefits. Fishery and aquaculture products supply food, nutrition, income and livelihoods to hundreds of millions of people; they help earn foreign currency and represent conservation and biodiversity values of global significance. Despite its vast marine, freshwater and aquaculture assets, the African continent continues to be saddled with numerous problems that challenge long term resource and environmental sustainability, and impede the sector’s contribution to food security, poverty alleviation and national economic growth.
