Abstract
The present status of fish culture development in the
ten northern states were investigated. All the relevant
data on one fish culture projects in the ten states were
collected by visitation and the use of questionaires, it
was found that a few states, notably Bauchi and Gongola
are as at now, still trying to construct their first fish
farms. it was also found that generally, fish culture is
yet to be developed in the area under review though there
are potentials for increased productivity. The problems
militating against the development of fish culture in
this area were discussed side by side with recommendation
for future development. The recommendations amongst others
include, strategies for better fish farm management techniques,
training and staff development, site/cultivar selection
and communication with research institutes and universities.
