Abstract The purpose of this review is to assess Ethiopia's fish stocks, capacities, challenges and aquaculture practices. Although Ethiopia has many rivers and lakes used for fish production, there are still problems related to fish production and productivity to increase private interests and the country's gross domestic product. In the country, it is fact that the main challenge contributed to low production and aquaculture practice including site and species selection, environmental impact, lack of awareness, inefficient fishing gears, poor transportation access, poor postharvest handling, low price at the landing site, improper market place and lack of infrastructure and technologies. Also traditional means of fish preservation and transportation contributed much to the low quality of preserved fish and short lifespan of fish products. All fishing activities are carried out in the natural environment and aquaculture has not yet been established in the country. In order to develop effective aquaculture in Ethiopia, it is first necessary to assess its true potential and thereby develop effective strategies. Practical introduction and training of business owners and filling of all necessary aquaculture systems are the pillars.
