Current trends of fish processing in Jabi Lake area
A survey of the fish processing practices of the fishing settlement around Jabi lake area in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) was conducted. The main purpose of constructing the reservoir is to serve as the main source of water supply to the FCT, fishing and fish processing became prominent. Fishermen are recording very low fish catch and the level of hygiene in fish handling practices is very low. The processors are majorly involved in smoking and frying which is dominated by 79% of middle aged young men whereas, 21% are women. The scale of fish processing in Jabi Lake area is still at the subsistence level. Furthermore, the processors do not package the processed fish products, rather they gather them in baskets and plastic bowls. FCT resideents usually procurelive and smoked fish from Kado fish market.
