The untapped Somalian fisheries sector has huge potential for profitable expansion

The untapped Somalian fisheries sector has huge potential for profitable expansion. Somali waters, one of the most untapped fisheries resources, are considered to be some of the most diverse and profitable fishing grounds in Africa, teeming with schools of yellowfin tuna, blue marlin, dolphin fish, and sardines. In addition to having a long coastline of 3,300 kilometers, the country has over 10,000 km2 of the inland water area which renders a great aquaculture potential. Estimates suggest that the country has the potential to produce 400,000 tons of fish per year.
