Why freshwater fishing is more popular than sea fishing in East Africa

 

  • Insufficient capital to buy the more expensive equipment, which sea fishing requires.

  • East Africa has a regular coastline, especially along Tanzania’s coastline, thus lack a suitable breeding grounds for fish.

  • East Africa has a narrow deep continental shelf, which is not suitable for the existence of plankton hence less fish.

  • Sea/marine fishing is not popular amongst the people of East Africa hence low demand.

  • East Africa faces competition in the open sea from developed countries whose fishermen have advanced fishing equipment and this discourages fishermen.

  • The fishermen of East Africa lack knowledge on deep-sea fishing
