Résumé : La sous-préfecture de Madingo-Kayes est arrosée par le bassin du Kouilou-Niari. Celui-ci constitue une niche écologique d’une grande diversité d’espèces halieutiques. Ces espèces sont recherchées par les populations locales pour leur rôle d’appoint dans la lutte contre l’insécurité alimentaire et leur contribution aux moyens d’existence et aux économies rurales. Le poisson, dont la consommation fournit près de 70 % de protéines animales à Madingo-Kayes, provient essentiellement de la pêche artisanale (avec l’utilisation d’outils rudimentaires tels que la nasse, le filet, la ligne, etc.). La recette mensuelle générée par cette activité oscille entre 250 000 et 500 000 FCF, soit environ un million de FCFA par année. Les principales espèces capturées sont les poissons-chat électriques (Malapterurus electricus), les poissons de la famille des Mormyridae, etc. Elles sont soit consommées sur place, soit écoulées à Pointe-Noire, ville où la demande est très forte.
The sub-prefecture of Madingo-Kayes is watered by the Kouilou-Niari basin. This constitutes an ecological niche of a wide variety of fish species sought by local people for their supporting role in the fight against food insecurity and their contribution to livelihoods and rural economies. Fish consumption in Madingo-Kayes provides nearly 70% of animal protein. The monthly recipe fish production in the district is between 250 000 and 500 000 FCFA. It is estimated an average of one million a year. The fishery is artisanal, with the use of simple tools such as the trap, net, line, etc. The main species of fish are captured electric catfish (Malapterurus electricus), fish of the family Mormyridae, etc. They are either consumed in the localities for food reasons or passed in Pointe-Noire, the city where the fish demand is very strong for mercantile reasons.
