The fisheries diversity of Lake Mburo with reference to Lake Kachera and some other Ankole minor lakes
Lakes Mburo and Kachera are part of the complex system of lakes known as the the Koki lakes. These lakes form part of the Victoria satellite lakes. The Koki lakes are separated by extended swamps. The fisheries of these lakes are important as they contribute to government efforts of increasing food security, poverty reduction and conservation of natural resource base. These lakes are important biodiversity areas because some of these lakes have been found to contain the native tilapiine Oreochromis esculentus (Ngege), absent or threatened with extinction in the main lakes Victoria and Kyoga. It's also important to note that this species is only unique to the Victoria and Kyoga lake basins (Graham, 1929, Worthington, 1929). The values of some of these lake fisheries are however, threatened by human. activities such as over exploitation, introduction of exotics especially water hyacinth which is already present in River Ruizi, habitat degra-dation among others.
