The establishment of a commercial fishery for Haplochromis in the Uganda Waters of Lake Victoria - Part II 1967

A previous report (Gee and Giibert 1967) gave details of investigations into the Haplochromis stocks of a chosen area of Lake Victoria up to the end of 1966. Also included were some preliminary costing estimates and a discussion of the possible methods for estimating yields in a particular population. The general conclusion reached was that estimates of stock density (and therefore population size) of the unfinished stock could be made using experimental catch per unit e£fort data but that the yields from this stock could not be estimated until after the fishing industry started due to the difficulty of obtaining recruitment, growth and mortality data.
