  Do they have enough fish-ponds in Ghana to propagate these fingerlings?

  Our leaders just talk talk talk and talk

  They should rather adopt Farm Pond Technology for Tilapia and Water Harvesting in the Farm Ponds on a large scale, because even peasant farming communities can achieve that at much lower costs.
  It is also environmentally friendlier and sustainable.
  
  Did you ever ask yourself, why fish cage farming is nearly no-where to be seen practised in the "developed countries"?
  
  That's because of the environmental implications, which are generally deemed as disastrous. Huge amounts of fish-feed, antibiotics etc. pollute and eutrophice the water all around these cages.
  
  But the article is also incomplete and unclear - it only mentions production of fingerlings, but not where these fingerlings are to be employed. Do they have enough ponds to set the fingerlings into?
  
  Is there any difficulty for normal Pond Farmers to produce sufficient fingerlings themselves?
  
  If small-scale-farmers can do it, then the business should not get taken out of their hands,
  because peasant farmers are still the backbone and majority of Ghanaians.
