2.0 Background
The Government of Liberia through the National Fisheries and Aquaculture Authority (NaFAA)
has secured funding from the World Bank Group to help develop the Liberia fisheries and
aquaculture sector. The project has identified five (5) components namely: Component 1:
Improving management and governance of fisheries; Component 2: Improving handling of fish
and fish products; Component 3: Support to Aquaculture; Component 4: Project Management
and Component 5: Contingent Emergency Response Component (CERC). Component 3 focuses
on supporting aquaculture through the development of a policy and regulatory framework and a
zoning map to help identify prone aquaculture areas. It also focuses on establishment of a full-
scale aquaculture technology research and development and a Quality Assurance Center (QAC)
in Klay, Bomi County. This component is to raise awareness about aquaculture and develop a
private sector aquaculture on the basis of public- private partnership (PPP).
Against this backdrop, through the Liberia Sustainable Management of Fisheries Project (LSMFP)
is soliciting the expertise of a reputable and qualified engineering firm or consultant to facilitate
the reconstruction of the Klay Fish Hatchery, that would serve as the Centre of excellence for the
following purpose:
• Produce annually at least 10 million good quality fingerlings of tilapia (70%), catfish
(20%) and Heterotis (10%) for smallholder and commercial fish farmers. This projected
amount of fingerlings need is based on the current hectare (115) cover by fish ponds and
tanks. This amount is expected to increase by 5 percent per annum based on the projection
of the annual growth rate of the aquaculture sector and the emergence of cage farming
(Kamstra and Kpadeh, 2017).
• Produce quality feed for fingerlings production, grow-out and research at Klay hatchery.
