| Abstract: | On the basis of observations, it is recommended that 127 mm should be
the minimum mesh size of gillnet permitted on Lakes Victoria and
Kyoga. The minimum length of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
should remain at 28 cm but that of Nile perch (Lates niloticus) should
be increased from 46 cm to 50 cm. The minimum mesh size limit of seine
net for Mukene on Lake Victoria should be 10 mm and fishing for Mukene
should be done using lampara net operated offshore. |
