Aquaculture

Zambia National Service is engaged in Fish Farming. The current Command is working on
commercializing this venture by expanding the current six hectare fish farm to 60
hectares by the end of the year. This expansion drive translates into fish production output of
1,920 metric tones of fish from the expected 32 tones by July. 

The production of fingerlings and employment of fish feed making technology by ZNS should set a strong base on which the expansion of the fish industry in Zambia can be anchored
