OFI (www.ofish.org) rapporterar om att deras medlemmar i Nigeria (fiskexportörer) har fått en minskad försäljning pga oljeutsläpp
INDUSTRY REPORT: NIGERIA
In Nigeria this year the sales have been much lower that previous year. This however, does not have to do with any change of government policies.
A big problem is pollution. As you know Nigeria is blessed with oil and therefore spillages occur which have caused fish mortalities and disease. Some people fish by poisoning the water, which they think is the best way to fish for edible fish. This causes a lot of damage to the quality of Nigerian fish. They do it by night and it is very hard to catch them.
