Fish farming in Ghana -Development challenges
Video ownership: The World Bank Ghana Office in collaboration with World Bank-Africa Region Video submitted by: Alain Murekambanze (Burundi) This 11-min interesting video was filmed in 2007. Even though the video is titled "Aquaculture development in Ghana", the focus has been placed on tilapia farming. The harvesting and grading of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus in a commercial fish farm were covered in the video and served as a live background to the description given by the key speaker. The speaker highlighted the demand and supply for tilapia and the need for tilapia farming in Ghana. The sustainability of fish farming in Ghana has been addressed especially in regard to fish feed which is imported as the establishment of fish feed mills is probably not feasible at the moment. Fish trade has been adequately covered especially the need for credit and micro-finance systems.

I am concerned this video has been edited. The part that he was talking about the imported chinese tilapia has been edited. The Chinese tilapia is mostly grown in filthy conditions. It us full of anti biotics, fed raw sewage and really bad stuff for a quick buck.

looks like they need a hand up and then, their off to the races. Logistics issues in this case, can likely be improved. No point in importing feed from foreign country and energy source can be reviewed and likely improved, as well, in my opinion.
