- Abstract
- Aquaculture has recently been recognized among the sectors to promote for poverty reduction and to ensure food security in DR Congo. This industry experienced fast growth in the mid-1980s worldwide, to become the animal production with the fastest growth. With the development of aquaculture, diseases issues came along, having serious socio-economic and environmental impact. By developing aquaculture, DR Congo will certainly be exposed to this challenge other countries faced around the world. It is therefore important to prepare the necessary tools to prevent or mitigate the impact of diseases, learning from other countries’ experience. A literature review on DR Congo’s aquaculture, biosecurity in aquaculture and experiences of some countries, coupled with a survey to investigate awareness of Congolese aquaculture officers and farmers on diseases issues and biosecurity were conducted. The lack of provisions on aquatic life health management and the weakness of general support services to aquaculture represented the lapses identified at managerial side while general farming practices and farm management represented the biosecurity lapses from the farmers’ side. This study, through identification of some measures to take at both the national level and the farm level, proposes guidelines for integration of biosecurity to guide the development of an economically viable, sustainable aquaculture sector in Democratic Republic of Congo.
