Angola is an important maritime country in southern Africa with abundant fishery resources. For a long time, the Angolan government has regarded fishery as a pillar to promote national economic development, increase employment and ensure food security. Since its independence, the Angolan fishery has experienced a long period of low tide due to the domestic political situation. With the end of the civil war and the improvement of national policies, the Angolan fishery has shown new development trends in recent years. Influenced by factors such as rich fishery resources, a vast consumer market and national policies, the Angolan fishery has significant development advantages and broad prospects.
