Abstract
Kenya has a potential to land 150,000 metric tons of fish annually worth U.S. $50 million. The present annual fish landed is about 50,000 metric tons worth U.S. $16.7 million. Some of the fishing areas are near the main urban centers and fish landed is disposed of fresh. However, due to preservation and communication difficulties, fish from areas that are far from population centers are processed. About 5% of the annual total catch is processed as salted, sun-dried, smoked, chilled, frozen and filleted and as fish meal. |
