Raising Nile perch is very profitable and beneficial to the environment, but it is not easy to achieve globally. This study discusses the current situation of raising Nile perch, including how it is raised, how much is raised, and how it is sold locally and internationally. We have researched new solutions, such as using better technology, improving fish species, and making more environmentally friendly feed. We have also proposed ways to protect the environment, such as combining different farming methods. Examples from Lake Victoria, Egypt, and East Africa demonstrate that these methods are indeed feasible. This study aims to help people better raise Nile perch, which can not only produce more fish but also protect the environment and society.
