Report of the Symposium on the Evaluation of Fishery Resources in the Development and Management of Inland Fisheries
The following are the authors abstracts of contributions presented at the Symposium. Most of these papers will be published separately in the African Journal of Tropical Hydrobiology and Fisheries - Editor J. Okedi, published by East African Literature Bureau (twice yearly), P.O.Box 30022, Nairobi, Kenya.Progress has been made in the evaluation of fishery resources in African inland waters since the earlier resource assessment seminars held in Jinja (Uganda) and Bujumbura (Burundi) 1971. A n umber of workers on various lakes are now using simple techniques to estimate the size of the stocks and the condition of the fisheries. Many of the results so far obtained agree well with the rough model based on the morpho-edaphic index. Such simple but rough methods may be more valuable at the early stages than more precise but more difficult methods. However, in some areas more precise estimates are now required because of indications of overfishing and a consequent need for immediate manage ment action in such waters.
