 Inland fishery enhancements
Based on the findings of the TMAF project (Neiland, 1997), it is evident that the fisheries are subject to intense exploitation and have been reduced in size in recent years due to a combination of the high exploitation rate and the impact of environmental change.
The modern systems of fisheries management in N.E. Nigeria have been based on Western “top-down” approaches to fisheries management, and are relatively young, having been established in the process of the development of the modern Nigeria state (since 1960).
In northern Nigeria, the number of trained technical personnel is limited, and this may narrow the scope of particular enhancement schemes.
