Increasing Household Protein Consumption Through Minilivestock Production In Nigeria

Inter-household and intra-household patterns of fish and meat consumption in fishing communities in two states in Nigeria.

Fish is generally regarded as a primary source of protein for many poor African fishing communities. The present study compared the relative importance of fish as a high-quality dietary protein source with meat in fishing communities in two states in Nigeria.
