Appraising three (3) decades of aquacultural development in Imo state
A survey was carried out to appraise the level of aquacultural development in the last 30 years in Imo State, South eastern, Nigeria. The study was conducted by the use of questionnaires and visits to fish farms in all the three senatorial zones of the State namely; Okigwe, Orlu and Owerri. Data collected revealed that 79.49% of the farms were owned by individuals while values of 12.82%, 5.13% and 2.56% represents government, community and cooperative ownership respectively. However, 17.95% of ponds were established between 1978-1988 while 46.15% represents fish ponds established between years 1998-2008 . Earthen ponds were commonest with pond areas varying between 400-10,000m2.
