Fisheries & aquaculture

Hatcheries and fingerling supply, broodstock, aquaculture feed, pumping, oxygenation and pond equipment: the upstream that decides the performance of the cycle.

The operations that rear fish in ponds, tanks or cages, from stocking to harvest draining.

Artisanal and industrial fishing, marine and inland: the taking of a wild resource under licence, where the resource is not produced but shared.

Cooperatives, fish farmer groups and fisher organisations pooling fingerlings, feed, ice and outlets.

Fish traders, landing sites, ice and first sale: the link that decides the condition in which fish reaches the buyer.

Smoking, drying, salting, filleting and freezing. Artisanal processing, largely run by women, absorbs the greater part of landings.

Fishmongers, wholesalers, catering and retailers of fresh, smoked or frozen product — cold chain included.

Fish health, water and product analysis, establishment sanitary approval, traceability to the licence, aquaculture advisory.

The fisheries and aquaculture administration, sector support programmes and the bodies monitoring illegal fishing.
