Department of Fisheries and Livestock in Siavonga says it has generated over seven hundred thousand Kwacha revenue from Commercial Kapenta Fishers.
District Fisheries and Livestock Co- ordinator Martin Mwale has told Money FM News in an interview that kapenta fishers only pay about three thousand and thirty-three kwacha as a license fee for conducting the business.
Mr Mwale has since urged small and medium scale entrepreneurs in the country to venture in aquaculture farming, saying that district has a verity of fresh waters to invest in.
He says the business is very beneficial because the fish farmer is able to harvest fish twice a year, and that fish ban is not effected on fish farmers in the county.
Mr Mwale says so far, the kapenta Commercial fishers carrying capacity on the Kariba dam has been over stocked from the Zambian side.
He says there are about three hundred and twenty-two kapenta commercial fishers on the Kariba dam.
