The fishery of Lake Victoria, Uganda
The only comprehensive assessment of fish stocks in Lake Victoria was undertaken during the period 1968/71 by the UNDP/FAO/EAFFRO. This work established for the first time an order of magnitude for the standing stocks of fish at 248,029 metric tons, in the Uganda portion of the lake, of which 205,592 tons (83%) comprised Haplochromis (NKEJJE). The other dominant species (in order of dominance) included the tilapiines (NGEGE), Baqrus docmac (SEMUTUNDU), Ciarias mossambicus (MUDFISH), Synodontis victoriae (NKOLONGO) and Protopterus aethiopicus(MAMBA), Lates niloticus (NILE PERCH) then comprised less than 0.1% of the standing stock (Kudhongania and Cordone, 1974). Rastrineobola argentea (MUKENE), a pelagic shoaling species, was also rare. About 80% of this standing stock was concentrated in shoreline waters of 0-49 metres deep, mostly within the artisanal fishery zone. The vast open and deeper waters had only about 20% of the standing stock.
