Abstract

Nigeria
is endowed with extensive inland water bodies that are very rich in fish and
shell fish many of which are of commercial importance. These diverse fish
resources with immense potential plays contributing role to the food security
and improving livelihoods of local fishers, but in recent years, there has been
serious concern about the poor status of the inland capture fisheries.
Overfishing has been recognized as a major threat to sustainability of the
fisheries.  Overfishing has brought about
changes in species composition, decline yield and fish stocks are being
threatened with depletion because of ineffectiveness and weak regulations. This
paper elucidates and analyses the causes, signs and types of overfishing in the
inland capture fisheries in Nigeria. It also highlights current management measures,
reasons for management failure and some of the procedure that could be adapted
for sustainable management of inland capture fisheries.
