Ethiopia is a landlocked country depending only on inland water resources for Fish’s supply as a low-cost protein source. Ethiopia’s inland water body is estimated to encompass about 7,400 km2 of the lake area and a total river length of about 7,000 km. The country offers enormous opportunities and untapped potentials for increasing its fish production and market supply. Currently, the country depends on inland freshwater capture fishery supply for its population. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), aquaculture in Ethiopia remains more potential than actual practice. This opens a wider room for commercial investment in a range of possible enterprises.

Over 70% of the fishes consumed in Ethiopia are harvested from lakes such as Tana, Ziway, Abaya, Chamo, and Hawassa. The rest are from artificial lakes like Finchaa. Lakes at the Great Rift Valley and Tana Lake are where 80 percent of the Fish comes from, while dams and rivers make up 14 and 6 percent, respectively. Society is starting to catch on to the benefits of eating Fish. In major towns, consumption is increasing dramatically, and the hospitality industry’s fast growth is contributing to increasing fishery business.
