Joma, a large tilapia market unknown in Accra, is located in the city of Joma.

Joma, a neighborhood in Ablekuma in the Ga West Municipality, is a large tilapia market in Accra that is obscure to fish merchants and customers.

After a long and exhausting day of documenting the activities of the fish farmers, the farmers now approach the riverbanks with bountiful bounties of tilapia to serve their patient customers.

Customers and traders hurry in with their baskets and bowls to hear their names called out by the record keepers so that they can purchase their fish.

Prior to the fish being sold after harvest, record keepers would have recorded how much each merchant or customer intended to purchase.

Nathaniel is a custodian of records. According to him, he records the identities of the traders who wish to purchase the fish each morning. He assigns them a number (as an identifier), and when the fish producers arrive, he calls out the numbers in order of first to arrive and weighs the fish for the trader.

The majority of fish producers in Joma, near Ablekuma in the Ga West Municipality of Greater Accra, primarily cultivate tilapia. People from various locations, including East Legon, Winneba, and Nsawam, come to Joma to purchase tilapia. According to their own accounts, this has been a crucial means of survival for the majority of them.

Vida Baidoo, a young woman whose business is selling tilapia, stated that she travels from East Legon to Joma to purchase tilapia because she has heard that it is less expensive and always fresh there.

Regarding fisheries, Joma is a major player. Its lack of prominence in the recent past has rapidly faded, and the tilapia industry is now attracting people from all over the world.

Richard Amebor has been in the industry for twelve years, and he complains vehemently about the comparatively high cost of establishing a fish aquaculture business. In addition, "you also need a business heart to do this kind of work," he explained, because there are times when you invest without receiving anything in return.

Each fingerling, according to him, costs 20 pesewas. In addition, there is the cost of building ponds and nourishing the fish. These fingerlings are fed and raised for approximately five to six months.

Some fish perish over time as a result of river pollution or other factors. During wet seasons, the dam may overflow into the river, drowning or transporting a number of fish.

There are also fish thefts, which typically occur when everyone has retired to their homes for the night. They felt compelled to erect a structure and employ guards to secure the fish at night for this reason.

Richard Amebor was named the finest fisherman in 2020 and again in 2022.

He recommends feeding fingerlings three times a day in order to maintain their health and strength for a successful harvest and return, as well as to provide customers with healthy fish.
