Fish Mongers and Public Awareness on Fish-Food Hygiene in Nigeria

Fish Biology and Other Aquatic Resources, National Institute for Freshwater Fisheries Research, PMB 6006, New Bussa, Kwara State, Nigeria

Sale of fish is a thriving business in Nigeria because of the high demand for fish. However, there is lack of public awareness on the need for fish hygiene by fish mongers and consumers. This paper discusses the issue of hygiene as it affects a fish shop environment, insects and pests of fish, preservation, handling, transportation, packaging, fish marketing and distribution. Suggestions on improving fish food hygiene and strategies for establishing fish guidelines and inspections are highlighted.
