One method is capture fishing in which the fish are obtained from natural resources such as fresh water resources (i.e., canals, pools, reservoirs and rivers), brackish water resources (i.e., estuaries and lagoons) and marine fishery resources (i.e.’, coastline and deep seas)’ The other method is by fish farming (or culture farming), which is concerned with culturing, feeding, breeding and fish production. Fish farming is based on aquaculture which pertains to production of useful aquatic plants and animals such as fishes, prawns, crayfish, lobsters, crabs, shrimps, mussels, oysters and seaweeds by proper utilisation of available waters in the country.
