    "content": "Fish has many benefits. Sometimes back, I read in a journal that those who routinely eat the head of a fish can develop IQ as high as 130. It has been alluded to that the secret why some of us from the lakeside are good performers in class lies in eating fish from a young age. So, there are very many benefits derived from fish. It is time we pursued that commodity which is available and is very easy to rear so that this country can get the many benefits. Hon. Deputy Speaker, it may not be known but one of the leading economies in the world with one of the highest standards of living is actually Norway, which is rated higher than Iceland. The economies of Norway and Iceland are predicated on fishing. Norway is not an industrialized country. Many Norwegians and Icelanders do fishing. That is the bedrock of that economy. Of course, Iceland is also known more nowadays for green energy. However, before that, they were known more for fishing than anything else. I think it is time that the Motion was given the due attention that it deserves. Over the years, some of us from the fishing areas have been waiting for that to happen. But successive Governments have deliberately neglected the potential that fishing can bring to this country because of other reasons. But the fact is that they know of the economic potential."
