The future prospects for the Lake Victoria fishery
The annual fish yields from Lake Victoria have been increasing when the species diversity was dramatically declining. The new fishery is dominated by the introduced predator (Lates niloticus Linne), the exotic herbivore (Oreochromis niloticus Linne) and an indigenous zooplanktivore (Rastrineobola argentea Pellegrin). While the three predominant fish species could sustain the high catch levels, the future viability for the fishery will depend on prudent exploitation regimes and effective management and conservation strategies.
