As of 2007, the Fisheries Department estimated that the annual demand for catfish fingerling in Lake Victoria was 10 million/y for aquaculture and 18 million/y for bait (). Aquaculture Development in Kenya: Status, Potential and Challenges

Prior to the government-funded Economic Stimulus Program (ESP), about 7,500 fish farmers, mostly from the Rift Valley and central provinces, held about 7,477 production units in an estimated area of 722.4 ha (). Integrated fish farming is inexpensive and profitable and is another overlooked asset for present and future aquaculture development in the East African region (In Kenya, integrated fish culture is still in nascent stages of development with demonstrational infrastructure present in state-owned institutions such as the LBDA in Kisumu and the KMFRI in Sagana and Sangoro ().
