Aquaculture in Africa: Current Status and Conjectural Assessing of Potential of its Coastline (Land Side) for Aquaculture in Future

In 2020, Africa (except Egypt and Nigeria) had about 400 thousand tonnes of products by aquaculture. But, hypothetical studies show that this amount can be increased to 1,500 thousand tonnes if 1% of the length of the African coastline is dedicated to aquaculture. It is sufficient for one serving of protein food for 5 billion people (300 g raw aquatic product for one serving). The results of this research are hypothetical and differ from the existing reality, but these data show that African coasts have a high potential for aquaculture development. Countries that are developed in the field of aquaculture ought to help Africa in the development of the aquaculture industry.
