All tilapia imports into Ghana have been banned with immediate effect.
Government says it will no longer issue permits for the popular fish found on most Ghanaian menu.
The enforcement unit of the fisheries Ministry will also begin tracking all fishing vessels and scan through cold stores nationwide to enforce the ban.
