Fish farming is one of the major business in Nigeria, it is a profitable business if only one is determined to do it, it is also a risk bearing business, when I mean by risk bearing the farmer should be able to bear any risk that occurs

Though every business has their different risk, like that of the fish is that sometimes the fish is been flushed by heavy rain fall ,a few years back many fish farmers in my area lost if not all most of their fish due to the heavy rain fall that occur that year the fish was flushed into the river that is close to their farm and many people who can swim use the opportunity to catch them some even use it for business though I had some people lost their life in the process.
