Madagascar has good potential for the development of shrimp and prawns farming, as well as freshwater aquaculture (mainly for common carp and tilapia) in paddy fields, ponds and cages. In 2008, capture fisheries and aquaculture production totalled 130,000 tons.
Nigeria owns significant fisheries with a coastline of 853km and over 14 million hectares of inland waters, and an abundance of marine, brackish water resources many of which are potential sources of fish food for its people. Fish supplies over 50% of the total animal protein consumed in Nigeria The contribution of fisheries to the Nigerian economy is significant.
