While increasing fish production and productivity in the long term are practical strategies for increasing fish consumption that address malnutrition in Nigeria, reducing post-harvest losses of fish from farm-gate to consumption is an economic and a rational strategy of increasing value of aquaculture businesses that lead to sustainable economic development.
