No results found.The review of the dug-outs present in Northern Ghana indicates that a policy aiming to develop the fisheries in seasonal, runoff fed dug-outs would seem to have a chance of success. However, although the analysis has not dwelt on the issue of size, it should be apparent that many of the associated public costs (e.g. identification, classification, training of local fishery supervisors, introduction of improved fishing techniques) are not related to the size of the dug-out but are fixed according to the number of dug-outs to be stocked. Thus, the stocking policy would have to establish a lowest (maximum) size for dug-outs to be integrated in the scheme. It seems evident that isolated dug-outs less than two hectares in size should not be included in an initial development programme. -

No results found.Ghana has a vast area of inland waters amounting to more than 1 million ha that will continue to be a much more important source of fish than can be supplied by fish farming for the foreseeable future. The estimated potential is about 65,000 t. In order to reach even 20% (13,000 t) of this by fish farming, a total pond surface of 3,250 ha yielding 4000 kg/ha/y would be required. This compares with a present operational pond surface of 209 ha and a yield estimated at about 300 t. Clearly, the man agement and further development of inland fisheries will continue to be an important objective along side the acceleration of the expansion of aquaculture. At present the amount of surface area in which CBF is best justified is relatively small and consists mainly of artificial water bodies in the northern part of the country where stocking and species enhancements can make an important impact on food security, income and employment in an area that is less well off than the rest of the country . Even in the northern part of the country it appears that many of the water bodies which are the potential targets of CBF are self-replenishing and are thus of low priority for stocking. Therefore, encouragement of fishing in water bodies not already fished and promotion of year around fishing in those only fished once per year is a higher priority than stocking. -
