The Development and Prospects of Experimental and Commercial Trawling in Lake Victoria.
Trawlers do not in any way complement the activities in the artisanal fishery. Rather, increased trawling activities can have negative consequences on local employment, food security and resource sustainability. In conclusion, the negative socio-economic and biological effects of trawling on Lake Victoria clearly outweigh its advantages.
