INTRODUCTION
Ethiopia is a land-locked country and depends on its inland water bodies for fish supply for its population. The country's water bodies have a surface area estimated at 7 334 km2 of major lakes and reservoirs, and 275 km2 of small water bodies, with 7 185 km of rivers within the country (Wood and Talling, 1988).
Current annual total fish production potential is estimated 51 481 tonne. It has, on average, grown by 10 percent per year. Current per capita fish production is less than 240 g per person per year. Success in fisheries has been attributed mainly to a favorable economic policy, which attracts private sector participation and project assistance in the fishery sector.
The fishery is predominantly artisanal, currently involving 15 000 fishers (of which 5 000 are considered full-timers (FAO, 2003; ADA & FDE, 2004).
Aquaculture in Ethiopia remains more potential than actual practice,
