The past, present and projected scenarios in the Lake Albert and Albert Nile fisheries: Implications for sustainable management
Abstract
Lake Albert is one of the largest lakes in Uganda that still supports a multi-species fishery which as a result of variable adult sizes of the species, causes management challenges especially in relation to gear mesh size enforcement. Prior to the 1980s, commercial species were 17 largesized fishes especially Githarinus, Citharinus, Distichodus, niloticus and Lates spp that were confined to inshore habitats of the lake and were thus rapidly over fished.
