The role of invertebrate organisms in the fishery potential of Lake Victoria

In Lake Victoria and other tropical inland water bodies, the study of secondary production has lagged behind other aquatic studies mainly because of inadequate research funding. Lack of basic scientific knowledge of such a major ecosystem component has greatly limited the understanding and management capacity of a vital regional fishery resource. This paper reviews the major roles played by various invertebrate organisms in the functioning of aquatic systems and the contribution of secondary production studies to fishery production assessment and management.
