Abstract
The importance of fish as food and animal protein for man and livestock, source of income and employment was discussed. The trend in fisheries development is x-rayed, with general characteristics of rural fisheries explained. The problems, constraints and likely solutions were highlighted. Recommendations were made for sustainable fisheries activities in Nigeria. Fisheries business is capable of increasing Nigeria’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to solve substantially the country’s unemployment problems and support Federal Government’s agenda on food security for all Nigerians.
Keywords: Nigeria fishing industry, artisanal fishery, industrial fishery, aquaculture.
