Fishing in Zambia is dominated by artisanal fishers using traditional vessels. They are found in all the country’s fisheries and waterways and contribute most of the national production.
Africa’s inland fisheries played an increasingly important role in the development of economic opportunities and the provision of food for the continent’s poorest communities. Despite their remarkable economic, social and nutritional importance, there were few attempts to theorise their distinctive political economies and their location within regional economies.
Fish farming activities began in Zambia in 1958 and annual fisheries production was 40,000 mt per year by the late 1960s.
