Fishing industry in Ethiopia
Ethiopia's fisheries are entirely freshwater, in its many lakes, rivers, and reservoirs, as it has no marine coastline.[2] Fresh fish are consumed in the vicinity of the Great Rift Valley lakes.Two factors account for this low level of local fish consumption.Second, because of religious influences on consumption patterns, the demand for fish is only seasonal.During Lent, for example, Christians who abstain from eating meat, milk, and eggs consume fish.
