Ethiopian Fisheries and Aquatic Science Association held its 14th conference

The Ethiopian Fisheries and Aquatic Science Association held its 14th conference under the theme “Environmental Protection and Food Security Improvement through Management” for two consecutive days (from February 25-26/2023) at the Wisdom Hall, Bahir Dar University.

In his opening speech Dr. Firew Tegegne introduced the university's various engagements in learning, teaching, research, community service and cooperation with international and national partners.

The president added that the university has various centers that make it unique from other universities in the country in that it is carrying out extensive works in the field of aqua-culture, and that it is the only in the country in training marine Engineers by establishing a Maritime Academy. The university has also done commendable community services to Bahir Dar and other places in a close radius from the university one of which can be the structural plan of Bahir Dar city which the university submitted to the municipality.

President of the Ethiopian Fisheries and Aquatic Science Association, Mrs. Berhan Mohamed, stated that it is 16 years since the association is established. The president said that the main objective of the association is to ensure that water and the biodiversity in the water are protected and properly taken care of to facilitate economic growth for the surrounding communities. The conferences convened contributed highly in scientifically identifying the prevailing problems, and proposing policy solutions to solve the problems.

It is not only the water that is lost due to improper handling of water, but also fishes and the general aquatic biodiversity as well as the surrounding communities benefit, so the President emphasized that everyone should develop the habit of protecting and preserving rivers from any kind of pollution and water resources such as fish in the water unconditionally.

In the conference where members of the association, senior officials and fishermen participated, many research papers were presented by scholars with vast experience in the field.

Among the presenters, Professor Broock Lemma teacher and researcher at Addis Ababa University pointed out that the main and visible problem responsible for the depletion of water and fish resources is the farming of the receding land which resulted from the ever growing population in our country. On the other hand, the invisible problem is the release of various chemicals into the water bodies. The professor emphasized that measures should be taken to preserve the biosphere and the biodiversity.

 

Among the participants of the conference, Mrs. Zewdie Alamirew, who is a fisher herself, said that in addition to siltation, the use of large nets in Lake Tana by illegal fishermen exhausted small fishes of various species making the life of legal fishermen very difficult as the amount of fish is decreasing with time.
