Ethiopia is branded as the Water Tower of Africa because of its abundant inland water bodies that may be used sustainably to boost the economy. This review article's goal is to examine the current status and future potential of Ethiopia's fisheries, with a special focus on reservoirs. There are 200 known fish species (194 native, 40 endemic, and 11 exotic) in in Ethiopia's inland water. Ethiopia's fish production has increased by a factor of more than five in the past three decades (3,500 tons in 1983 to 15,681 tons in 2000 and 18,058 tons in 2010). However, fish produced in reservoirs is too low (8,059 t/year). The current fish harvests from reservoirs are significantly below the predicted potential yield, accounting for only 35% of the calculated fish production capacity.In this review, 14 potential reserves were revealed. A total of 48 fish species have been reported in these, of which 26 species (or around 54%) are present in Alwero reservoir. 19 of the 48 species that have been officially recognized belong to the Cyprinidae family and made up nearly 40% of the fish population in Ethiopian reservoirs. There has been, however, a decline in the productivity of Ethiopia's reservoir fish. Hence, actively start fishing in the numerous reservoirs that have been neglected yet, link the potential of fisheries and the benefits of the fish farming supply chain, let's begin building several other reservoirs similar to the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam and beginning mechanized-based fish harvesting.

“…The marketing system for fish catches from fishermen is not detrimental (mutually beneficial for all parties), in principle focusing on how to build a marketing system through the most efficient marketing chain. In this context, the marketing system must be built with the principle of openness, no pressure from one another (for example, pressure from the big fishermen on small/traditional fishermen), and accom-panied by a sense of belonging, compliance, and togetherness in the utilisation of facilities/infrastructure of fish auction/marketing places (in real conditions this infrastructure is almost abandoned by most small fishing communities/traditional fishermen in carrying out their marketing transactions) (Awel et al, 2020;Azad et al, 2017).…”

Poor small fishing communities in rural areas are always faced with a detrimental marketing system trap for marine fish catches. This study aims to reveal the characteristics of fishermen's poverty (poverty depth and severity index), detrimental marketing systems in poor fishing communities, the factors that determine them, and to build a qualitative model of an integrated (mutually beneficial) marketing system to reduce fishermen’s poverty in rural areas. This research is a case study by setting the North Bengkulu Regency, Bengkulu Province, as the sample location. Data collection is done by interview, focus group discussion, observation, and documentation. The results showed that fishermen's poverty's depth and severity index in the sample villages were 0.645 and 0.257 (both of which had quite high scores). Quantitative analysis shows that the depth and severity of fishermen's poverty are determined by the quality of the marketing system (detrimental or profitable) and the quality of capital (captures facilities). Qualitative analysis shows that fishermen's poverty is determined by the cooperation factor, the role of cooperative institutions, the role of the government, and the role of universities. The qualitative model that can be built is an integrated marketing system model (improvement of a detrimental marketing system to be profitable for fishing communities).

“…Value chain describe a high-level model of how fishery businesses receive raw materials as input (captures and culture fisheries) and add value to the raw materials through various processes and sell finished products to customers. Moreover, fishery value chain can be defined as interlinked value-adding activities that convert inputs into outputs which in turn add to the bottom line and help to create competitive advantage (Awel et al, 2018).…”

The research was conducted to collect information on the status of farming and marketing of live pangas (Pangasius hypophthalmus) from Trishal region to different areas of Bangladesh by interviewing stakeholder and secondary sources. The survey was carried out for seven months from May to November, 2016. Pangas farmers, arotdar, commission agents, wholesaler and retailers were interviewed in accordance with participatory rural methods. The results showed that the best harvesting season were found to be June to July and November to January. It was also found that 90% farmers harvested their fish completely and only 10% of farmers harvested partially. The price of pangas depends on market structure, quality, size, distance, weight, seasonal variation and regional perception. The prices of pangas were found to be highest of 130tk/kg and the lowest of 85tk/kg but sometimes 60 to 70tk/kg when the fish are dead (on the way to destined area) in different districts. On the other hand significant quantity loss was observed in fish 8%, 10%, 15%, 18%, and 19% after reaching to Savar, Manikgonj, Maowa, Sylhet, and Barisal from Trishal. Therefore, it was strongly recommended that proper handling of live fish must be ensured during transportation to attain quality pangas at consumer level. Environ.
