1.2 STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
There have been a concerted
effort by Anambra State River basin authority (ASEBA) and some
organized private sector individuals to improve productivity of fish in
here various water bodies recently for instance federal government and
state government recently conducted a research work which was assisted
by food and agriculture organizaiton (FAO) to find out the rate at which
fishes propagate in in-land water bodies in Nigeria Similarly there
have been also series of seminars and work-shop geared towards educating
fishermen for the need for the conservation of Nigerian water bodies.
Inspite
of all these effort most water bodies in Nigeria are still in declining
trend. This left the researcher with no other option than only to
ponder: what really are the cause of the low productivity? Is it
possible that an accurate assessment of the status of these in in-land
fisheries have not been conducted? Or could it be a lack of detailed
information to the stake- holders? Or is the management techniques in
use are not suitable? These are what the researcher want to find out in
this research work and suggest a possible solutions to the problems.
The
challenge to this research work is to therefore to find some management
system that would best support fisheries management in the state in
finding and implanting its approach by specifying institutional
arrangement that would prevent degradation and over exploitation
occurring in the first place rather than trying to find way to repair
the damages ones it has occurred. Such strategy make clear economic
sense. It is also ecologically desirable in line with precautionary
principle in that there is no guarantee that renewable natural
resources degradation is reversible.
1.3 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
From all that has been written it is the objective of this study:
1.
To find out why productivity in most in-land water bodies in Nigeria
especially that of Osimiri Dude is very low
2. To find a means of minimizing over- exploitation in Nigeria water bodies
3. To determine the cause of the deteriorating quality of aquatic environment in Nigeria.
4. To degraded status of our water bodies.
