Fisheries research in Uganda
Evolution of fisheries research and FIRRIThe earliest approach to fisheries research in Uganda dates from the first fisheries survey of Lake Victoria by Michael Graham between 1927 and 1928 (Graham,1929). Based on references to the rich fisheries that were reported to Graham, itappears that during the 18th Century, catch per net per night averaged 300 tilapia,a revelation that led Graham to conclude that Lake Victoria is a tilapia lake. The"tilapia" later came to be known as Tilapia esculenta and T variabilis(Oreochromis esculentus and O. variabilis) respectively.
