Description

Once seen as an affordable alternative source of protein for the average Nigerian, fish is gradually disappearing from the dining table — and not because it’s no longer wanted.


With the high cost of feed, fuel, and transportation, many fish farmers are struggling to stay in business, and as a result, prices are rising beyond reach for millions.


What’s really driving the crisis? How do fish farmers survive? What can families eat instead? And what is Nigeria losing economically as fish farming declines?
These are the issues we explore in this episode of Nigeria Daily.
