This paper examines into the huge significant contribution those fisheries resources make to employment, nutrition, and trade in the developed and developing world, especially Nigeria. Employment in fishing and aquaculture has grown rapidly over the past few decades. International trade in fisheries products has been shown to have a positive effect on food security in many developing countries, stimulating increased production, generating foreign exchange which can be used for food imports, and enhancing the trade-based entitlements of people engaged in fishing and fish processing. Fish is a very important source of complete protein, also contains considerable amounts of vitamin B, Vitamin E, nutrients like niacin and minerals such as Copper, Iodine, Iron, and Phosphorus and Calcium.
