The photo shows some fishing activities which are carried out at the Ambowé landing site, Libreville (Gabon). The photo shows women who are selling fish as the case in other landing sites in Gabon. Men fishermen and women are working together in harmony; men prepare fishing gears and go fishing while women sell the catch. In some occasion and as fishermen arrive landing site, women buy fish and resell it. Typically, fish prices are negotiable. The fish consumption in Gabon is high and hence, fish in the market is usually sold out. However, left over fish are either smoked or dried and both products have a good market.

Ici nous sommes au débarcadère d’Ambowé, premier arrondissement de la commune de Libreville.
Ce sont les femmes qui vendent le poisson que les gens achètent et font écailler sur place. C’est aussi elles qui vendent le poisson dans la plus part des débarcadères du pays. Les hommes font la pêche et préparent les filets et engins de pêches.
Les femmes vendeuses de poissons sont liées aux pêcheurs. Les pêcheurs et ces femmes travaillent ensembles; une sorte de réseau : les hommes pêchent, transportent le poisson jusqu’à la rive et les femmes vendent et écaillent. C’est elles aussi qui le fument et le font sécher.
La direction du contrôle des prix fixe les prix du poisson. Que se soit dans les pirogues comme dans les bassines au près des mareyeuses. Parfois quand les pêcheurs arrivent au débarcadère, les femmes achètent le poisson avec eux et revendent avec une différence de prix de 200FCFA. Mais le prix reste tout de même négociable dans les pirogues comme dans les bassines.
Généralement le poisson est totalement vendu. Les Gabonais sont de gros consommateurs de poissons. Celui qui n’est pas vendu est fumé ou séché. Et sera dont toujours vendu.

Most water bodies in the world are being exploited using various gears. Among such gears is what is seen here. It is a local gear made from palm fronds called “borxe” in the “Ewe” local language in Ghana and it is a fish trap. It is used in catching green tilapia (Tilapia zillii) and some other cichlids in the lake.
This picture was taken at the Volta Lake stretch at the Kpong landing site in the Lower Manya Krobo District of the Eastern Region of Ghana.

The photos show the raceways in which the intensive culture of rainbow trout takes place. Each raceway measures 5 m x 50 m with a depth of one meter. The 50-g fingerlings maintained in the nursery tanks are moved to the grow-out raceways using pumps. This particular farm produces 1000 tons of trout and uses liquid oxygen while feeds its trout on high quality feed that contain 40% protein and 22% fat. Harvested fish are transported alive to the processing plants using transportation trucks.

Taal Lake is a freshwater lake located in the province of Batangas, on the island of Luzon in the Philippines. The lake is the third largest lake in the Philippines.
The photos show fish cages in which all-male of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus and Pangasius catfish are cultured. The cages could have different shapes (round or square) and volumes. The group of cages were supported by the American Soybean Association (ASA) through providing the floating pellets for caged fish in which soybean has been used in a full replacement of fish meal with competitive results.

One of the photos shows a small-scale farmer while preparing the harvested fish to sell out to awaiting costumers. Fresh fish is the preferred form of selling in Ghana. That notwithstanding, the fishes are sold in various sizes per kilo which go along with certain prices pegged by the farmers themselves. The second photo shows a woman while descaling and degutting the fresh fishes she had bought and prepare it for the market.

In most part of Africa including Ghana, taboo days were set aside by ancestors during which natives including fishermen do not work.

One of the photos shows a whole sale smoked fish market in Youpwe, a fishing area in Douala, Cameroon.
The two other photos show a smoked fish market in Bamenda main market, Cameroon. Actually, the fish is not produced here. Fish sold in this market come from Youpwe and other places.
About 52% of Cameroonians lives in rural areas and depend on smoked fish as main source of protein. In towns some local dishes are preferred with smoked fish. The price of smoked fish compared to fresh fish is not actually low. In local areas where markets hold only once a week, smoked fish is preferred because it can be conserved for some time. Main smoked fish species: catfish, tilapia, banded jewelfish, Hemichromis fasciatus.
