According to FAO statistics, fish production from\naquaculture in Namibia -excluding aquatic plants- amounted 515, 505, and 461 tons\nin 2014, 2015, and 2016 respectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While farmed oyster dominates the total aquaculture\nproduction (86.3% in 2016), tilapia is the leading freshwater species with a\nproduction of 65, 50, and 46 tons during the period from 2014 to 2016 respectively\nrepresenting 12.6, 9.9, and 10% of total aquaculture during the mentioned\nperiod. Minor quantities are produced whether in freshwater or marine water\nincluding African catfish, mussel and abalones.\n\nAccording to the National Aquaculture Master\nPlan for Namibia, the analysis and challenges for developing the potential of\nfreshwater aquaculture was completed leading to the establishment of a series\nof Inland Aquaculture Centers and farms in some regions in Namibia including Otjozondjupa\nregion.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
