Mafolabomi, M.W. | Adeparusi, E.O. | Balogun, A.M.
Ilaje Local Government Area of Ondo State is blessed with many rivers, lagoons, tributaries lakes and a very long coastline, of about 180km making the State as a coastal state with the longest coastline in Nigeria. The people are predominantly fishermen. The fish produced from this area could be further boosted through farming of fish especially in cages along the available creeks at not much cost to the inhabitants. This study shows that the waters of the area were found optimal for fish production. This further buttressed by the fact that the area has been an active zone of fish production for ages. This historical perspective is been considered as the baseline in the study for perpetuating the culture of fish and other aquaculture species in the area
