available for brackish-water fish farming in the Niger delta and, that
if they can be made to produce the modest crop of 400 lb/acre/annum,
they will repay their capital costs in four years, A demonstration unit
has started work, and this may give the banks enough information to
finance extension, but government-sponsored pilot schemes have an
unfortunate way of losing money. The scope is still considerable, and
can be linked with reclamation schemes for rice cultivation, etc. Not
only the knowledge which can be provided, but the aptitude and
willingness of the local people, their flair for animal husbandry, and
the willingness of the local banks or investors to invest, are needed for
the fuller development of estuarine fish farming.
