The photo shows a fisherman holding gravid shrimp (Penaeus <\/i>species) caught from the Volta lake stretch at the Kpong landing site in the Lower Manya Krobo District of the Eastern Region of Ghana.<\/span><\/h1>\n

Kpong is well noted for the selling of fried shrimps, oysters, Sierrathirssa<\/i> tiny fish species commonly called \u201cone-mouth thousand\u201d in Ghana. The favorite delicacy is best served with steamed corn dough cake commonly called \u201caboloo\u201d in Ghana.<\/span><\/h1>\n

However, this fisherman together with other fishermen in the area know that catching gravid shrimp in Ghana is prohibited by law hence this shrimp was put back into the lake after taking this shot. This however, is not a guarantee that all the fishermen obey the rules to the core.<\/span><\/h1>\n
