Trawling operations on Lake Victoria

The programme of work in connection with investigations into the feasibility of operating a fishery for Haplochromis has progressed, albeit with interruptions, throughout the year. An account is given in Appendix A of the boat and gear developments which have been stimulated by this survey. With conversion of the Darter to a stern trawler, fishing operations have been speeded up and a total of 85.5 trawling hours has now been completed. A summary of the catch data is set-out-in Table G1 and some comments on the distribution of species is given.
