10. Constraints: • INAPPROPRIATE RELEASE OF FUNDS AND UNTIMELY RELEASE OF FUNDS • UNENCOURAGING INSTITUTE’S COUNTERPART FUNDING OF THE PROJECT • POACHING OF FISH BY COMMUNITY MEMBERS

11. SUMMARY OF NIOMR’S AQUACULTURE VALUE CHAIN THE GOAL OF THE AQUACULTURE VALUE CHAIN • To create an enabling environment for increased and sustainable production of over one million metric tons of Aquaculture fish and to generate five hundred thousand jobs (500,000 Nos.) under a 4-year work plan (2011-2015). All states and the FCT will be involved in achieving this goal.

12. EXPECTED OUTPUT • 1.25 billion fingerling seeds per annum • Production of 400,000 metric tones of fish feed per year • Production of additional 250,000 metric tones of table fish per year • Production of 100,000 metric tones of value added fish and fisheries products per year • Create 100,000 jobs per annum for the next five years which will include at least 20,000 youths and women. • Over 6,000 Broodstock of Catfish and Tilapia

13. STRATEGY Baseline studies conducted on the current status of the various components along the Aquaculture Value Chain due to lack of adequate information in most of the states visited during the field trips.

14. STRATEGY II Broodstock Development and Fingerlings Development One of the most important inputs to the aquaculture value chain is high quality fish fingerlings in the required quantity. Presently about 1.2 Billion fingerlings of various species are required in order to be able to produce 1 Million metric tons of table fish annually. The total supply is approximately 300 Million, which is just 25%. Correspondingly 600,000 pieces of Broodstock are now needed.

15. STRATEGY III • AN ELABORATE FACILITY FOR TILAPIA RESEARCH IN BADORE, LAGOS. • Mobilization and Cluster Formation of Producer Groups within the Aquaculture Value Chain. • Capacity Development in all the Aquaculture Value Chains • Commercial Cage Fish Farming

16. STRATEGY CONT. • Rehabilitation and Privatization of Government Aquaculture Development Projects • Fish Feed and Fish Meal Development. • Product Development from Aquaculture Ventures • Fish Marketing, Transportation and Distribution

17. Strategy continues • Development of viable Broodstock for hatchery producers • Development of new fish species for aquaculture industries • Development of marine and freshwater shrimp for both local and export market • Development of Mariculture industry to include marine fin fish species. • Improvement of Artisanal and Industrial fishers • Development of value added fisheries products • Development of aquaculture machineries including feeder, pelleter, extruder • Fish Health and Disease control and propagation • Breeding of ornament fish species • DEMONSTRATION OF EXISTING FISHERIES INNOVATION BY THE EXTENSION DEPARTMENT
