<p>As for fisheries, it is still much undeveloped in the area. Only streams and rivers in the Mbaw<br>plain have wild fish species. These are fished artisanally on a very small scale. However, a few<br>artificial fish ponds exist at Wowo, Ntumbaw, Talla and the Ndu Fon’s palace. These ponds are<br>poorly stocked, probably due to unavailability of fingerlings. Technical follow up of the few<br>pond owners is lacking and management is inadequate. Most of the smoked fish sold in the Ndu<br>market comes from the Sabongari region in the Nwa sub division. Large quantities of frozen fish<br>are imported from Douala and Bamenda.</p>

Livestock rearing is also a major<br>economic activity in the area. Transhumance is practised during the dry season, and the main<br>transhumance area is Ntaba in the Mbaw plain.
