Plankton identified in stomach contents of Oreochromis niloticus (Pisces, CICHILIDAE) and the water system of Lakes Edward, George and Kazinga channel-Uganda
Lake Edward is connected to Lake George by Kazinga Channel and the commercial fisheries of this water system are dominated by Oreochromis niloticus and Bagrus docmak. However, Oreochromis niloticus is on the decline in commercial catches and yet the water system may be rich in phytoplankton, the common food for Oreochromis niloticus.
