In 2008, fish catch was estimated at around 17,000 tons 74 per cent of which originating from the six main lakes: Tana, Zeway, Langano, Hawassa, Abaya and Chamo; and 26 per cent from the other water bodies. Fish potential of the country is estimated at 45,000–51,500 tons per year, according to studies Thus, with less than 38 per cent of the potential currently exploited, there is a considerable room for further exploitation of fish resources.
