Crocodile industry in Uganda

The foregoing account gives a picture of the exploitation and control of the wild population of Crocodilus niloticus in Uganda from 1920 to the present day.The economic value of the crocodile is shown, and some idea is given of the possibility of maintaining this economic return to Uganda by farming crocodiles in captivity. The Uganda Fisheries Department is actively pursuing the issues which arise from the present status of the wild population, and the need for artificial rearing of crocodiles.
