(PHOTO: DENISH OCHIENG'/ STANDARD|Official statistics indicate fish production has been declining due to inadequate funding. Fish output from fish farming reduced by 22.4 per cent from 24,100 metric tons in 2014 to 18,700 metric tons in 2015. The lakeside town formerly known for massive production of fish is fed with fish from lake Turkana, River Nile in Uganda and lately China. The report shows fish production from fresh water sources remained the major source of catch, accounting for over 90 per cent of the total output. Migori Agriculture Executive Isca Oluoch said the county government allocated Sh23 million for fish pond projects to bridge the shortage.
