Essien, J. (1983) Problems of industrial fisheries development in the Cross River State. In: 2nd Annual Conference of the Fisheries Society of Nigeria (FISON) , 25-27 January, 1982 , Calabar, Nigeria.
Abstract
The industrial fisheries as opposed to artisanal fisheries in Cross River State, Nigeria, is discussed, considering the prospect of industrial fisheries in the State and identifying the major fish and shrimp resources within the coastal waters. Industrial fishing was introduced in 1973 when the state government invited a Japaneese company to carry out a joint exploratory shrimp fishing venture. The contributions made by the Seastate Seafoods Company, the Eyib's Nutritional Food and the Arawak Fishing Companies towards the increase in the number of fishing fleet in the state are noted.
