The possible role of marginal lagoons and beaches in the improvement of the quantity of tilapia stocks in lake Victoria
Since 1962 the level of the Lake Victoria has increased by one metre over the previous highest record (I, 2). The effects of this rise within the lake have been most obvious on the shallow marginal waters where the inundation of the previous lake shore has produced a series of beaches or lagoons. In such places open water has replaced what were either areas choked with aquatic vegetation or were dry land. In time some of these places may become overgrown once more and in fact in the three years of their existence they have already become partly weed-covered in some instances. This period, therefore, is a transitory phase in the lake's history but one that points a way towards some artificial improvements of the quantity of Tilapia stocks in Lake Victoria
