Scientists and researchers agree that developmental projects should have impact on the targeted groups. In this context a review was made on the indigenous knowledge system in fishery with a view to elucidating the indispensability of the system due to the increasing acceptance globally. The importance of the system and the factors militating against it where shown. The relationship between fisheries science and the fisher's knowledge was also discussed. Some indigenous practices as well as equipment used by different people were cited. It was concluded that local knowledge of the environment and resources used, as well as the society within which the resultant goods and benefits are distributed is fundamental to the continuity of sound community based management practices. Recommendation was made for research to be conducted in every facet of fishery traditional system with a view to fusing the two; the indigenous and scientific to complement each another.
