National Agricultural Research Organisation. Fisheries Resources Research Institute Annual Report 2000/2001
It is now clear that fisheries resources are among the key assets contributing tothe national development objective of poverty eradication through providing food, employment, income and export earnings. It was recently reported in the papers that monthly fish exports had increased by 23% and fetched about US$ 10Million during the month of November 2001 alone. This value may beunderestimated as it is based solely on recorded exports from fish processingfactories numbering 12. Although fisheries resources are renewable they can be depleted through unsustainable exploitation. It is therefore important to ensure that there is guided development and management of this asset so that it can continue contributing to the livelihood of the people who depend on it. Therefore, FIRRI contributes to the fisheries sub-sector developmental objective of ensuring increased and sustainable fishery production and utilization by providing information to guide sustainable management of capture fisheries resources and development of aquaculture.
