Description:The Gambia's fishermen caught 10,795 metric tons(t) of fish in 1974, slightly less than the estimated maximum sustainable yield(MSY) of 12,000 t. On January 1, 1978, the Government of The Gambia officially took over the shares of the ex-Japanese shrimp exporting firm and bought a 49-percent interest in a Ghanaian firm, thus putting the government firmly into fisheries. In February 1978, Fisheries Director, Olu Taylor Thomas, left his position for a job in private industry. The industry remains small, but quite successful. Exports of fish continue, and sufficient fish are available locally.
