    According to a report by the Ghanaian electronic media "PhotoOnline" on November 9, the Ghanaian Tuna Association stated that 60% of Ghana's fish products need to be imported to meet demand, and it costs 150 million US dollars to import 600,000 tons per year
    .
    With the government's protection of marine resources, imports will further increase
    .
    Ghana's average annual fish consumption per capita is 21-27 kg, ranking first in Africa
    .
    Due to offshore oil development, mineral development and the discharge of domestic sewage, Ghana’s marine ecosystem has been damaged and has had a negative impact on the fishery
    .
    The lack of skilled workers for trawlers, the lack of funds for the development of fishery equipment, and the increase in fuel prices are all important factors affecting the development of Ghana's fisheries
